if Harry Reid had any cujones, he’d withdraw the Senate Intelligence Committee bill, and introduce the House bill… demanding its passage without amendment, because the House will be on a retreat as of tomorrow, and a conference committee won’t be able to convene…and the House won’t be able to pass the conference committee version, before Friday.

THAT is an excellent strategy…and shove that failure to pass the “extension” right back in their faces!

Bloody obstructionists!

Before the last election we heard much about his lame duck status. Now that he is truely a lame duck we need to use that phrase frequently, remind the people he is on his way out and that is why (historically) he won’t get much done. I am tired of hearing about him sprinting to the finish. (Lame)Duck season is here.

Hey. Listen. I’ve been saying since last night we were gonna lose. I even was willing to give 8 votes on it. Thank god no one took me up on it. Listen, everyone of us deserves to pat himnself or herself on the back (or wherever else you wanna pat yourself.) Da bloggers made a difference including the FDL people. Can’t say how much of a difference and I don’t wanna overstate that. Just dunno. But undoubtedly, we made some difference.

Excelsior!!

most definitely

A pre-emptive strike against tonight’s SOTU is à propos. I totally agree.

There is no other way for for me to discharge my civic duty this evening.

“It was one of the most brazen things the Republicans have ever done in the Senate, refusing to pass an extension of protections they are always telling us are “vital” to American security — for purely political purposes.”

Shout it out!!!!

The Republicans want the Neocon Administration to spy on their constituents without warrants using Telco companies who, the American citizens they represent and who pay their salaries, pay their hard-earned money for telco service!!! Spy Service!!!! They want immunity and obstruction of justice for the crimes that those elected into office perpetrated against the very victims who elected them and pay their salaries.

Who all is gonna watch the Chimperor? I can’t stand to look at his stupid face. I don’t wanna even hear his inane fumbling with the English language. The man is an embarrassment to the human race. AFAIC, he can’t move to Paraguay quick enough.

I’m with you but I’m thinking I might enjoy it tonight. The chimp will be all fumey and he might stamp his feet and all. Could be good for a laugh or two.
