Nice to see McConnell doing something useful for a change.
Oh my, Frizzy Lizzy was BARRED!
My bad, it doesn’t necessarily mean she was behind bars, just standing at ‘em, elbows atop.
That was fun to watch. The dingbat was trying to hide behind Coretta Scott King. Can’t believe they actually shut her up.
Give him a break. Idoit all the time.
I don’t know about that. She should run the Pow Wow Chow Chuck Wagon in Harvard Square.
The vote was 50-43 and the Senator presiding was Mike Rounds of SD. I was watching it live on C-Span
