I guess Wrong and Steny missed their target for a FISA Friday news dump.

They got stiff-armed by the Progressive Dem Caucus, who told them that they weren’t backing that wretched FISA cave-in.

Well, there’s that little thing about midnight comments that just didn’t sit very well with a lot of people.

The advice given to people who can’t take a joke is well known, and need not be repeated here. The first line of my comment should have been attributed to Groucho the originator of it.

[RBG Note; and the third line has no place in our comments.]

It’s okay to make all kinds of accusations against Israel and her defenders, to accuse them of being genocidal Nazi’s who silence all opposition.

You know, I really don’t give a fuck if larry Craig wants to get a blow job in a shitter. But hypocricy makes me sick. If the shoe fits, wear it.

Hey ET and ES,

how about a billboard “welcome to MN” . . . . hand waving under stall partition ……..

The Minneapolis airport maintenance people are actually modifying the public toilet stalls there to prevent re-occurances of the Craig move. Apparently every time a GOP politician wants to unite the people, big government gets in the way.
