A Chicken Is Not Pillage

Dammit!

I had hoped beyond hope that Harry Ried would be out of the Senate this year.  His 'leadership' has been, at best, fuzzy.  His stances change depending on votes, with little concern for changing the votes to match his stances.  In truth, I think him a slightly less competent and very much less irritating version of Joe LIEberman.  And I'm more than a little annoyed that he was gifted a true nutcase as an opponent.

Don' Ya Throw Me In Dat Der Briar Patch ...

Now we've done it.  We've pissed off President McCain and BOY IS HE PISSED!

Democrats shouldn't expect much cooperation from Republicans the rest of this year, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) warned Monday.

...

"There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year," McCain said during an interview Monday on an Arizona radio affiliate. "They have poisoned the well in what they've done and how they've done it."

You know what, you old fart?  Fuck you.  All Republicans have done for over a year now is blockade, nay-say, whine, piss and moan.  They've fostered the teabaggers in threatening our government, while pitching a fit that nobody wants to play nice with them in actually governing.  The Republicants prove themselves more useless by the day.  One can count how many votes important government initiatives have garnered from Republicants in the last year on one hand.  They can't govern, they have no ideas and they generally want the American people to know that they are grumpy old white men who should be listened to, because they are grumpy old white men.  Even the teabaggers are tired of their shit, and McCain himself faces an uphill battle for reelection.  So the Democrats better be afraid, or they'll get dick-slapped by the flaccid wieners of a bunch of dried up useless old white guys.  'Hold still Democrats!  I'll dick-slap you yet, if I can just stretch this nub beyond my fly ...  Crap, where's Dole and his Viagra?'  Let McCain continue to go on the Sunday Talkies and tell everybody how picked on the poor old GOP is.  They wanted obstruction, they got it, and now they are reaping the benefits of being the party of impotent bastards with attitude.

Personally, I love the response from Reid's office:

For someone who campaigned on ‘Country First’ and claims to take great pride in bipartisanship, it’s absolutely bizarre for Senator McCain to tell the American people he is going to take his ball and go home until the next election.  He must be living in some parallel universe because the fact is, with very few exceptions, we’ve gotten very little cooperation from Senate Republicans in recent years.
 
At a time when our economy is suffering and we’re fighting two wars, the American people need Senator McCain and his fellow Republicans to start working with us to confront the challenges facing our country—not reiterating their constant opposition to helping working families when they need it most.

That's the polite way to put it.  I'm not polite.  Fuck you and your dentures too, McCain.  You're useless.

Baucus Gets His Pee-Pee Slapped

Alternate title, Reid Shows Some Balls.  Alternate alternate title:  Baucus is the smelly kid who will only have friends by buying them  with BIPARTISANSHIP!
