I expect some sleazy is going on or attempting to be done relating to the Bush tomorrow

Fine, let them hang their sleaze out where everyone can see it.

I remember it as

When in danger
Or in doubt
Run in circles
Scream and shout

No picking on Ensign, but why can't these buttheads drive themselves to work like the rest of us?

I was at a breakfast meeting with my Congressman. He treated his assistant like his butler. "Get me some butter." "How about some more eggs?" etc.

It is not unprecedented for Congresspersons or Senators to be wheeled in on a gurney for critical votes.

Next time bet Bush is going to nominate a black or hispanic woman. It'll be fun.

They really think they are above the rest of us. One more reason for term limits. Knock them back down to earth.

Let me go "Moonbat" on this one...and be the first to call for
an investigation concerning the likelihood the Jeep and other
vehicle were driven by Code Pink or ACLU operatives.

It would be too cool to find out that Code Pink, ACLU or some other
group had "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap" on their business cards.

Cloture has been invoke with over 70 votes in favor of cloture. Senator Ensign might possibly make the Tuesday 11am vote - injuries are not that serious.

But he might be wise to tend to the injuries rather than trying a long flight to DC...
