I’m sorry, but Harry Reid can also kiss my ass. This man is so concerned with ‘procedure,’ he won’t take opposition to a lot of what the Administration is still doing with their agenda. Not that I have any sympathy for that jerk McConnell, who I believe is the consigliere of the Senate.

Why didn’t Harry Reid hand Mitch a copy of the global warming bill and a roll of toilet paper and tell Mitch to go take a potty break and read the freaking bill quietly to himself. Tell the obstructionist asshat not to come back until he’s finished and is ready to play nice with the adults. If he insists on a reading on the floor of the House, Reid should have told Mitch to get up off his ass and read it aloud to the whole class. If your going to obstruct the people’s business at least do your own dirty work. God I hope when the next Administration looks into all the broken laws and underhanded shenannigans that the Righties have pulled for the last eight years that Mitch and the Boehner are scrutinised closely for aiding and abetting high crimes and misdemaenors by Bushco.

And still the troops are engaged, by order of Hier Bush, in an illegal opperation.

And still, Tellicoms go free.

And still,

Hey, let’s shut down the Senate too! we could sit there and read a list of all the American troops killed in Iraq by our moron-in-chief. We could also hold a Bush-style search through the Capitol building for McConnell’s missing chin.

Calling Bruce Lunsford, Demo candidate for Senate in KY:

Hey Bruce, where is your press statement about McConnell’s antics today and his unwillingness to work on the Climate Bill. Time to get up and running, Bruce.

We want to get rid of McC, you want to be Senator. Let’s work together.

Will the people of Kentucky wake up to what a shill they have in the Senate? Maybe, if they pay attention and have anything but Rushbo on their radios and the Repug machine in their newspapers.

“The strategy of being obstructionist can work or fail … and so far it’s working for us.” – Trent Lott Former GOP Senator, now big time lobbyist

The Republicans, if they can’t control how our government works, will just shut it down.

And the Republican Sheople all baaaa, “The Democrats control congress”.

Too bad they didn’t make the clerk read the USAPATRIOT Act out loud, we might still have a republic.

Attention Senator Yellow-Spine (Made of Jello) Chickenhawk McConnell!!!!
Your Selective Service Record has been FOIAed and received, the gig is up!
What a big phony liar you are,bad eyes,polio give me a break! What was the number of the National Guard Unit you said you served in? You know the one that you said you where in the day after graduating from Law School, in May of ‘67?
How were you a member of a National Guard Unit, sitting around the barracks, in your uniform waiting for your medical paperwork that had found you unfit to serve, “BUT” you didn’t even take a physical until Aug of ‘67? How did that work,Senator?
How come New York University has no record of you, even applying to attend school that fall? You didn’t lie to your Senator to get him to write a letter to the CG of Fort Knox, asking the General to speed along your discharge did you Senator McConnell? You know, you told the Senator you had been accepted at NYU, but you had even never enrolled!
It’s going to be fun Senator, watching your beady eyes roll, your eye-lshes blinking a thousand times a minute, your small,cheerio-like mouth,quivering and drooling as you try to defend yourself, as the truth about your selfish cowardness, is exposed for everyone in Kentucky and the country to see and hear!
You’ll be in big group of Yellow-Jello Spined Chickenhawks though: Bush,Cheney,Rush,Boortz,Hannity,shucks most almost all of your Republican counterparts are in the same boat with you.
Look forward to this fall Senator,your going to be butt- arsed naked for the whole country to see you as you really are!
A big, phony, lying Chickenhawk!

Ms. Joanne Regrettably, the Boner is in a very safe seat. The best chance of getting rid of him is if the Rs dump him from leadership and he gets bored. Don’t bury McConnell yet by the way. He is one nasty campaigner and bluegrass voters are pretty dim.

but, how the hell does the MINORITY leader get to do this???

That would be my question too. If that was possible, then why didn’t the Democrats do that when they were in the minority?

The Dems could not, and would not find a spine. They also are a bit more ‘civil’ that the right side. The right side has confidence and corruption issues, so it is in their blood to go for the throat. Dems are more ‘polite’, which has been a problem for them (remember the sternly worded letters?).

The right side is a spoiled brat – as Bob says in #48. They will kill to get their way. Competiton is not something the right side does too well.

McConnell is done…thank goodness!

Now can we get rid of that b!tch, Boner, too? I am so tired of WATB’s not running the government.

why didn’t the Democrats do that when they were in the minority?

The (R)s late-night roll-calls, closure votes, as well as deals made agreeing not to filibuster, right? Oh, and there was that threat of the ‘nuclear option’. Simply put, the republicans play like spoiled brats.

They’re afraid they won’t get their activist judges on the bench before they loose the unitary executive. They are appeasing the religious radicals’ Constitutional terrorism.
