Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Republican evasive-maneuver-slash-talking-point number one for the last four days has been the meaninglessness of the anti-surge resolution.
Is it lost on anyone that the only thing sillier than a non-binding resolution that, although it accurately reflects the majority opinion in this country, accompanies a foregone conclusion that it will be completely ignored by the most stubbornly delusional president in history is... um...
Filibustering that same non-binding resolution that, although it accurately reflects the majority opinion in this country, accompanies a foregone conclusion that it will be completely ignored by the most stubbornly delusional president in history.
I suppose the strategy is: if we just stick our fingers deeper in our ears and talk ever louder to ourselves, reality will change. I'm tempted to give Nancy Pelosi some credit for making these people look incredibly dumb but I suppose she had a lot of material to work with.
I so want somebody to filibuster a resolution (not necessarily this one, it could be any bill) by reading the "Is Barack Obama the Antichrist" thread on the Senate floor. That would be awesome.

It's rare that I find Froz or Apostropher saying something without linking something. But this time I did...
And I sent it to all my friends.

Posted by: TrickL-D at February 17, 2007 11:59 PMThe Congress are low-life worthess sacks of excrement. The dumb but evil republicans as well as the spineless and flaccid democrats.
In my opinion its like watching drunks swing at each other in a bar fight.
