A "circus, a "mockery,""Kabuki theater," a "carnival" and a "charade," Democrats have said. Not only that, but "a colossal waste of time." Given the increasingly geriatric nature of the chamber as a whole, the Senate in all-night session amounts to "elder abuse." Those were Democrats talking about the last all-night Senate session four years ago. Then, they were in the minority and forced by Republicans to make good on their threat to filibuster judicial nominations.

“Clay pigeon” Majority leader Harry Reid and the wacky Democrat controlled Senate are up to more Senate tricks! Well it’s supposed to be an all night debate signifying the sacrifice that our soldiers in Iraq make. You know the soldiers in the theatre of war are often up all night defending this country (are there any beds in fox holes?) and some brilliant Senator said, Hey I know, let’s do a all night debate like the soldiers stay up all night in Iraq.

"How many sleepless nights have our soldiers and their families had?" --Sen. Dick Durbin,D-Ill

So the Democrats patted themselves on the back and immediately ordered 100 beds just in case the hard work of emulating the soldier’s vigilance in fighting the war might get too tiresome. Now you all know why this hair-brained Democrat controlled Congress has an approval rating of a dismal 14%!

The last time that the Senate did an all night debate Democrats called it; a circus, a mockery, Kabuki Theater, a carnival, a charade a colossal waste of time and elder abuse.

So to avoid looking foolish like the last time that the Senate debated all night long Democrats ordered plenty of beds. I guess someone has to do the hard work that Americans won’t do, aye Senators?

Pillow fight anyone? Next time how’s about a Senate overnight fieldtrip to Baghdad?
Hey Senator Reid was this your bright idea?

I imagine that we paid for these stupid props (the beds).

Durbin: "I'm going to sleep on that bottom bunk right there."

Schumer: "OK, I get to be on top!"

Reid: "I'll be in the bathroom with my newspaper."

I hope some good Republican (does such an animal exist any more?) called for a quorum call each time a bunch of Senators tottered off for a nap or a nip in the cloakroom (Ted). Didn't Harry the First threaten to have the Capitol Police drag Senators in for quorum calls?

Those old fools are senile enough on their best day. Lord knows what legislation might pass in their sleep-deprived stupor.

Props are exactly what those beds are. Do you think the MSM would dare call the Democrats on the fact that these are Kabuki props? Think about it. If you look at the picture you see various still and video cameras. What Senator, in their right mind, would lay down on one of those beds only to be photographed and splashed all over the news and in every paper. Can you imagine if republican used one of those beds and how the MSM would have a field day?!

What an absolute joke. And the MSM say ...nothing, and again covers for their Democrat partners.

And those are hardly “cots” Where are the wooden rods and canvas? Never heard of a cot with a mattress before. Look like roll-away beds to me. I wonder if the troops have it so good?

Harry throws a pajama party for a few close friends. Mom sends out for pizza. Pillowfight at midnight.

These are our "leaders." God help America.

[freekitty]

I agree. I am mighty tired of paying for their stunts.

[Dutch Boy]

I have been traveling the past 3 days and have been news deprived. What ever happened with this stunt?

[Billthedrill]

Apologies for the late answer - it would appear our pajama-clad warriors failed to get a definitive vote on, as the AP put it, "Surrender." Check THIS out...

Thanks for the update....
