I have a different view of the Republicans.
I think they know Rush is quite capable of taking care of him self.
I would hope they will do SENATE business and leave the slime, scum, dirt, filth, lying, stupid comments cling to the Democrats as the Democrats are so good at doing all by themselves.
I would hope they will do SENATE business ...
Evidently, since the majority leader of the SENATE felt the need to make this issue SENATE business, SENATE business is exactly what this is.
To let "slime, scum, dirt, filth, lying, stupid comments" go unchallenged, for even this length of time, is cowardice pure and simple.
U.S. Constitution
Article I
Section 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place.
Evidently Rush doesn't contribute enough $GREEN$ in the right places to merit consideration of support.
