I think it is symbolic...and I think I have figured out why none of the GOP Senators have stood up for President Bush...and his pre-war intelligence..
These GOP Senators don't even fight for THEMSELVES...they let themselves be mocked, ridiculed, called a liar...and just let his happen.
These guys are OUR representatives...so they are letting themselves be mocked at OUR expense....IMHO.
Though I do agree the pubbies should stick up for themselves
I also want to point out that it is against Senate Rules to attack other Senators on the Floor like the Dems have been doing
