Someone on the GOP side needs to get smart enough to block Webb’s car.

Does anyone realize how stupid this is and looks? Webb is an idiot...in 2008 the donkeys are screwed [and they did it to themselves].

What these RATS just don’t get it that payback could easily happen. They cannot control the Senate forever. What we have to concentrate on is making sure we get a Republican President elected next term as well at getting the Senate back.

Climbing to the president's chair, Webb took the gavel and banged it.

Well, I suppose it's an improvement over his thoughts of banging prepubescent children. Oh, it's just a novel?

A session of one...

So what is the appropriate answer to that game?

Our side would have to bother to show up...

Looks like Webb has finally found a purpose for being in the Senate.

Other than being able to lose track of his pistol with impunity.

Aeen’t there even *5* GOP Senators who aren’ pieces of chickenshit, to all show up tommorrow, to force a quorum call, and force the Dem to adjourn Congress when a quorum cannot be formed?

The Repub Senators are every bit as much a bunch of cowardly chickenshits as the sniveling whiner Dims and Gimmies.

Isn’t there anything the republicans can do? Like showing up and forcing a vote of some kind? Maybe motion to adjourn?

Since VP Cheney is the President of the Senate, why isn’t he the one handling the gavel? Does he need to be invited? This article leaves much to be desired about explaining anything.

One Republican Senator should show up and ask for a quorum call.

I wanna know how much this stunt cost the taxpayers for those 11 days. Staff salaries, lights/heat, the whole shooting match.

This is unconstitutional, not to mention just another use of weasel words. The GOP should have been in that session in full force just to highlight the whole farce. Course the GOP ain't that brave.

A quorum of Pubbies need to show up, refuse to adjourn, then vote to recess.
