Dan Burton up on the Floor with a bad case of sour grapes

[Skidmore]

because Obey has the votes to get this Appropriations bill passed. Mocked Dems by saying that "we" would have lost the Civil War if Dems had been in charge. To which Murtha rose promptly and flambeed his wrinkled ass with a blow torch.

1. I am enjoying the hell out of this morning's business. The APPLAUSE for Dave was gratifying. NT

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. I have extra fuel should Murtha need it.

Burton - the ethics of a poisonous toad, with the bite of a viper.

5. The GOP tactic, apparently, is to put up little asswipes whining about

earmarks.

It is so telling. The Democratic representatives get up and talk about the WAR.

The GOP wusses get up there and make horseshit 'parliamentary inquiries.' The House staffers are onboard, though--they're helping by telling our boy with the gavel what to say. I love the parliamentary language of "fuck you" in response to these assholes.

Rahm did well. Force Iraqis to do their own work! We shouldn't be "policing their civil war."

6. what many in Congress -- particularly Rethugs -- seem to forget is that . . .

our occupation of Iraq is thoroughly ILLEGAL . . . as was the invasion that got us there . . . so talk about winning or losing and all the rest of it is just so much twaddle (to use one of Sen. Byrd's favorites) . . .

we are there ILLEGALLY, and the only way to solve that is to leave . . . ASAP . . .

7. Give him a pumpkin, a shotgun and tell him to"go play outside"
