Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott yesterday called for Congress to adjourn rapidly as investigators verified an anthrax attack at the Capitol, part of a Senate building was closed and thousands were treated with antibiotics.

"There is a growing feeling that as soon as we can get our work done, that we should recess for the year," said Mr. Lott, Mississippi Republican.

"Crazy John remembers something about war..."

Well, if anyone knows about surrendering, it's McCrazy.

"Does the gov't know something we dont???"

Yup. They know how to do part-time "work" for a few years, and then retire on a king's ransom.

There ya go. They bring a copy of Miss Manners to a streetfight.

Your #7 is a hoot. Thanks for the laugh.

[Alas]

LOL!!!

Maybe the congresscritters should just say that they want that 'vacation' so they can spend time, going shopping, buying a car, and visiting disneyland.

[b4its2late]

I guess it's true to form and the politicians are living getting back to normal. They're on vacation more than they work.......

[mommadooo3]

Your letter...from God's lips to your keyboard! WHY am I dragging God into it? Because any time the truth is spoken, you can be sure God is behind it.

We should launch a freeper mail drive, and ALL send your letter.

Anthrax spurs Lott to seek adjournment of Congress

Lets get this mincing sissy-boy out of power once and for all. For G-ds sake man, YOU PEOPLE NEED TO BE IN SESSION UNTIL THE THREAT OF TERRORISM IS GONE! PERIOD!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Utterly disgraceful!

That is an excellent letter. We should all send it.

Not at all :) Anyone who feels the letter speaks for him (or her) is welcome to use it. I put it up here because I know that some of those critters (or at least their staffers) drop by FR on occasion.

Lets get this mincing sissy-boy out of power once and for all. For G-ds sake man, YOU PEOPLE NEED TO BE IN SESSION UNTIL THE THREAT OF TERRORISM IS GONE! PERIOD!............................................................Now, now, Laz. You KNOW this is not 'your father's war'. And you KNOW staying in session would be how they did it in the days of our fathers. Most of those fathers are dead and gone, or have gotten pc-fied.

So while the congresscritters run like scared little wusses, looking for safety and cover, the OTHER citizens are being told to go on about their business/lives/shopping trips.

[Rudder]

I heartily concur with Lott...he should go home.

[Gunner9mm]

Two points. First, our military people are risking their lives daily. They don't get to go home just because they are "threatened". If Lott and the other whining crybabies in congress think their lives are more valuable, they are grossly, egotistically wrong.

Second, I will agree to an adjournment of congress for the rest of the year if every member of congress agrees to forego any pay or benefits for the rest of the year. No work, no pay.

[P-Marlowe]

Bump. Excellent letter.

[putupon]

Lott wears pink womens underwear w/ lace. Thats why he wouldn't go after the traitorous perpertraitor in chief during impeachment.
