6. That creature is an embarrassment to the state of New Mexico
and I sincerely hope we'll be able to get her bony butt out of that chair in 2008. Only 3 crooked elections plus being fortunate in her opponents has kept her there, plus aid from Domenici (R-fossil) in staging a regular dog and pony show over supposed base closures.

17. I thought so, too, but that brain fart during the debate killed her
Even with that, Wilson (R-COW) won by the skin of her capped teeth to the point it took until the weekend to find out.

Let's hope if Madrid runs again, she avoids eating and drinking anything for at least 4 hours before the debate.

:evilgrin:

13. It would be but do we have 60 votes in the Senate and then 67 to override chimp-bastard's
veto if it reaches that point?

15. Why 60 votes? -- simple majority to pass
but * will veto and then we'd need 67 to override the dictator
