Did y'all hear what Sen. Harry *spit* Reid, D-Nev, said???

He scolded the Republican and dissident Democratic senators who voted against cloture on the immigration bill for not "thumbing their noses" at... you.

Harry *ptui* Reid is thumbing his nose at you. He knows the American people don't like the immigration bill, and it ticks him off.

In better times, he would be lucky to only endure tar and feathers.

There seems to be lots of name calling and shouting in the state and national senate. Lindsey Graham and Barack Obama got into a little hollering match where Graham referred to anyone who doesn't like the immigration bill as "the loud people". What? I can't hear you, people in my district that voted for me, I can't hear you rallying against this bill!!! Then Trent Lott decided that he couldn't be outdone by Lindsey Graham of all people and stated that if America likes where we are now on immigration, then fine, lets kill the bill, as if the one and only choice from now until forevermore is to either vote for or against THIS bill.

He also said "this is one of the biggest issues facing this country, and the question is do we have the courage, tenacity and ability to get anything done anymore?"

Memo to Senator Lott - cut the crap. We're onto you. Passing a bill does not equate to demonstrating courage and tenacity, not if the bill is a pile of junk that dooms the nation to endless and debilitating 'unintended consequences'. For you to set the passage of this bill as some sort of test of the nominal operational condition of the senate is a massive canard, and it betrays the obvious; you cannot stand a discussion of the details of this bill on their merits, so you divert and mislead and stand up your straw men.

This is what I expect from Democrats, not from you.

IT isn't about 'bipartisanship', or leadership or courage or tenacity or even the status quo.

IT'S ABOUT A BILL THAT STINKS ON ICE, BEING DRAFTED BY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS AND HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC, AND BEING RUSHED TO A VOTE WITHOUT DEBATE OR PUBLIC DISCUSSION.

That's what a politburo does, not the Senate of the United States of America.

I think I love you, Smarty.

I wonder how long it will take to craft another bill? Who's gonna craft it?

I guess we can pretty much write McCain off the Republican ticket now. Good luck, John McCain, in your future political endeavors. I tried to like you. I really did.
