Still waiting on Snowe, Specter, Coleman, Hagel, Murkowski,

Smith, Aye–our third Republican.

Grassley and Bond no, even though they called for AGAG’s resignation.

How can they call for Gonzo’s resignation and say they won’t vote for “no confidence”?

Are they still “confident” yet think he should quit?

And if they don’t believe that a vote of no confidence will “have meaning” what about their statements that Gonzo resign…how much impact did THAT have? At least a COLLECTIVE statement carries some weight by demonstrating Congressional consensus!

And I wonder if they would actually take the step of doing something that actually has INFLUENCE and IS PERFECTLY WITHIN THE DUTIES OF CONGRESS? They could call for Gonzo’s impeachment and request that the House draw up articles of impeachment! And then vote to IMPEACH THE FOOL!

Wanna bet they won’t do that?

And you’re GOING?

[sigh]

And Digby is way too smart to be a chick, so shaddup wid dat goofy talk.

(I deadpanned this very opinion, in person, to Lady Hamsher, and without hesitation she laughed long and hard. She gets my absurd humor and I hope the readers of this comment too.)

Considering the circumstances of our meeting, her laughter was like raindrops on a parched earth.

Citizen Hamsher and the Firepup Patriots:

Now ken we have some order please? The Democrats in the Senate have got to get their act together and Harry Reid has gotta start snappin’ the troops into formation…no more major legislation put forth from the Whitehouse, no more compromisin’ under threat of fillibuster, jest keep loadin’ the shit on the fascists plates and let ‘em carry it into November of ‘08.

No more requests for us good troops to call on Republifascists beggin’ ‘em ta vote the right way…JEEzus folks, we got all we ken do ta keep the DEMOCRATS swingin’ the bats. Fer Christ’s sake, this is politics and if our system is to survive, we gotta hang the actions and positions of the incumbants right around their crooked necks. But in order ta have sumpthin’ ta hang ‘em with we gotta have the cajones ta bring the issues to the floor. Let the bastards fillibuster…the only way we get 9 more Democratic senators is to hang George Bush and the rest of his merry band of fascists right around their necks. Norm Coleman knows this and his vote in favor of cloture is a sign that he gets it…but it’s too late for the weasely little Nazi.

KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T BACK DOWN!!

Lieberman – NO

And fuck Lieberman.

(sorry for the profanity.)

I think it’s appropriate in this case.

How could anyone have voted nay?

Anyone who ever runs against any of the “noes” needs to say this over and over again. It is true and not hyperbole.

Those are our talking points.

Lieberman – NO

And fuck Lieberman.

(sorry for the profanity.)
