LaHood: 110th Congress has been successful.
Rep. Ray LaHood (R-IL), who has a reputation for sometimes “tell[ing] the truth, unvarnished,” offered his assessment of the new Congressional leadership:
They’ve had a pretty strong quarter… They can send their members home crowing about their accomplishments, and they’ve done it in a bipartisan way, which is exactly what they promised to do.
LaHood also announced he will not be seeking re-election.

This Congress has done next to nothing to stop the Iraq Fiasco War, so not much to pat themselves on their backs about.
July 27th, 2007 at 9:34 amI love that ending. Try your own: Start with a name, then the thing you’d least expect to hear, and end it with “also announced he will not be seeking re-election.” For example -
“Sensenbrenner surprised the press Thursday by announcing he had fathered a child with a space alien he called ‘Gertrude69-Omega’, and also announced he will not be seeking re-election.”

July 27th, 2007 at 9:40 amCongress has failed to exercise the rights of the people. Impeachment is the remedy that the founding fathers placed in the Constitution as a safeguard against tyranny.
Those of you who favor impeachment: Your help is needed. Please post the link to the late Barbara Jordan’s 1974 speech defending impeachment to your own site or any to which you are connected. This stirring defense may well awaken those who believe that the people are powerless.

July 27th, 2007 at 9:44 amWell, I was hoping to turn on my computer today and find that the entire Administration had resigned in disgrace, but I guess this will have to do.
July 27th, 2007 at 9:52 amLaHood — a coward even when NOT seeking re-election. Cool.
July 27th, 2007 at 9:59 amthat’s funny–makes a bunch of nonsensical statements and then says he will not be asking for the job again…duh!
July 27th, 2007 at 10:04 amTHERE BETTER NOT BE ANY RECESS THIS YEAR OR WE WILL LOSE OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE WAITING TO NEGATE CONGRESS DURING THE ABSENCE.
July 27th, 2007 at 10:06 amTHERE WILL BE NO VACATIONS OR YOU WILL BE FIRED. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND YOUR JOB WAITING WHEN YOU RETURN FROM, VACATION.
we are watching you closely, what’s it going to be?
“Im out, I can finally be honest.”

July 27th, 2007 at 10:23 amYo, Prez! What’s with all these one-liners?
July 27th, 2007 at 10:50 amThe Democratic Congress has done an outstanding job, because they haven’t done anything. The country functions best when the government is fighting with each other, and not passing any legislation.
Perfect!
