Another SORE LOSER: Conrad Burns (GOP ex-Senator from Montana)
Sen. Conrad Burns gave a practiced politician's grin and hearty "How are ya?" but some of his staffers were wiping damp eyes as the Montana Republican shepherded them on a climb of the Capitol dome, a tour only a member of Congress can lead. Burns, who was defeated in last week's election, has until early January to exercise the privilege.

He was less friendly earlier in the day to several reporters who cover him for Montana newspapers. Burns advised them to read Psalm 109, which includes the passage "the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me."

Boo-fuckin-hoo.

1. If he wants to talk about wicked...
Edited on Wed Nov-15-06 12:17 PM by jilln
what he did to wild horses, removing protection for them in an appropriations bill, was wicked:

Oh and yelling at firefighters who were trying to help... kinda wicked.

Here's how he dealt with other wildlife:

All kinds of groups are happy this jerk is gone.

Kerry actually trying to make a joke about Bush, and I was being sarcastic that he could have tried to pass it off as a joke ...

4. Santorum is even more revolting
'Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican defeated last week by Democrat Bob Casey, delivered an acrimonious swan song by threatening to block a bipartisan plan for $5 billion for drought-stricken farmers in the Midwest.'

What did the farmers ever do to him??? That sounds like pure vindictiveness.
