I thought sure he'd be elected to the ethics committe
Wouldn't that be like putting Clinton in charge of girls volleyball.
Doesn't stop them from theatrics, er, preparing.
Both parties do this every Congress. The Republicans will be electing their leadership for the new Congress tomorrow.
The formal vote is taken when the new Congress convenes, but both parties do the actual electing early, so the new leaders can start preparing.
Seems kind of dumb. The 'Pubs have the majority right now, so they should elect the Senate leader. Likewise the House. If the 'Rats want meaningless gestures, give them to them.
Good picture!
After two years of DemoRat control of Congress, voters will be ready to switch back to Republicans in 2008.
There is no need to elect a majority leader for this Congress-- he was elected two years ago and continues to serve. But both parties want to know now who their leaders will be for the next Congress when it convenes in January, so they both hold non-binding votes this week. The membership of the new Congress-- not the outgoing Congress-- votes on that.
You and me, both, Sandra! I used to watch Brit Hume's show, but no more. I can't stand to watch all of these RAT poseurs preening, pontificating and patting each other on the backs and having Gorb-asms all over my television screen. It's TV Land for me!
Depends on what the meaning of "is" is
Criminal behavior is not a disqualifier in RAT politics.
Little Dick Durbin and Harry "the Body" Reid. Swell!
Dang it! My monitor screen just cracked.
Harry hung up on a reporter when asked about his land deal. so much for Harry being "honest".
I think it would be sweet if the 'Pubs could work a backroom deal to nominate Lieberman for Senate leader. Get 50 votes for him (assuming he votes for himself) and Cheney breaks the tie. I know there is no guarantee that will hold if a 'Pub flip-flops or if that one 'Pub Senator from WY who is sick ends up biting the dust, but it's a fun fantasy to think about, Dirty Harry getting snubbed and all. What've we got to lose, we're no going to get any of our guys elected leader.
