but brit -- i saw you cover it!

daschle said he was saddened, saddened, that the warmongering bush had flung down and danced upon diplomacy and was launching a coyboyish war against the noble saddam. and he said it about five minutes before the war began. in other words, in any other country in the world, daschle would have stretched a rope by now.

In countless interviews, the Senator is saddened, deeply saddened, disappointed, deeply disappointed, discouraged, deeply discouraged, etc. etc. about most any topic whatsoever. It's a running gag.

He's particularly saddened by news of the President's "miserable failures" at diplomacy, the President's "politicization of the war", and whatnot.

No sex for you!

I am shocked at your using this time to question my sadness. It is an outrage that I am not only saddened, but I am deeply saddened.

A sadness, deep and outrageous which can only be comforted by a pink tie, muffler, Airline cash, farm subsidies and a party cloaked by a dead senator is the only thing to perk me up.

The beloved leader of the Democrats, Mr. Daschle, has pinned all his hopes on Iraq being a disaster, the economy falling a part, SARS killing off half the population, terrorist attacks on a daily basis and President Bush lead away in chains.

In other words, he is playing politics.

Anything that is good news, deeply saddens Mr. Daschle.

Tom Daschle has said a lot of things with which he prefaced "I am deeply saddened." For example, if President Bush announces a tax cut, Daschle would say "I am deeply saddened." If President Bush announced that he would reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in spending Daschle would do the "I am deeply saddened" routine. It has become a true joke. Anything good that President Bush tries to do "Deeply saddens" Tom Daschle. He has made himself a genuine laughing stock in the U.S. And it is axiomatic that it is politically fatal to have the whole country laughing at you.
