When It's The Senate That Makes You Sick!

[Update: I count 10 senators as not voting on the 56:34 vote that stalemated this action. To see who voted and how, check here.]

Yesterday's rare weekend Senate session was sickening, to say the least.

Mind you, the House of Reprehensibles who for the last several years have performed about as bad as any assemblage possibly could, managed to have three full days of Iraq debate, got some smart and long-needed things said by Dems AND Republicans alike, and managed to vote on the purely symbolic (and doesn't that rankle?) non-binding resolution against Bush's handling of Iraq.

But once again, Repugnants like Mitch McConnell - who proves that a turd wearing a $300 shirt and a $125 tie STILL looks like a bowel movement - would not so much as allow the Senate to debate the Iraq War four years after we entered the damned country (no wonder Iraqis are reticent to adopt democracy American-style).

And, in the same breath, these Repugnants said they could not vote or discuss even a symbolic no confidence measure on Bush UNLESS it was tied to a promise that there would be an UNLIMITED amount of money flowing from taxpayers' pockets to Bush and the Pentagon to ensure we can stay to completely dessimate Iraq - and start our destruction of Iran, I suppose - unchecked.

As displeased as I am with some Senate Democrats, I could rethink my anti-capitol punishment edict when it comes to the likes of Mitch McConnell and some of the others of the most smug Republicans. The sooner we're shed of the infection of the Bushlickers, the better.
