Watching Reid blabbing on C-SPAN2

[TwilightGardener]

1. What's he blabbin' 'bout? "Baby Steps"?

[Neecy]

3. he's clearly shaken

Guess the howl of protest over this bill has sunk in.

He apologized a minute ago for asking for order - apologized. Real tough guy.

[firefox_fan]

5. I saw that! And then he laughed, odd.

[firefox_fan]

6. So, it's all the Prez's fault: he vetoed.

And then the Dems had their hands tied cuz Chimpy said he would veto anything with a timeline! Idiots.

[firefox_fan]

7. There, Reid said he's supporting it.

[firefox_fan]

4. Oh, he's saying that the war sucks...

And we should get out. And they keep interrupting him (somebody talking in the background). Odd.

8. this is such a sham

About an hour of 'debate'...how many hundreds of lives will be lost between now and September, and they discuss it for a fucking HOUR????
