Interesting blog: The McConnell Obstruction Record on Big Ticket Items.

Larry Pratt of Gun Owners for America is one of those savant types like Michael Barone. Where Barone can tell you everything about your neighborhood regardless of him ever having been there, Larry Pratt can quote you chapter and verse of legislation passed and the maneuverings to pass it.

Out of frustration, Larry Pratt pulled forth from his database of Senate debacles Mitch McConnell’s history of defeating big ticket, controversial items.

Read below and you’ll see that if the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again expecting a different result, our fearless Minority Leader might be insane.

Senator Mitch McConnell has lost almost every major legislative battle he has managed.

We should also point out that under Mitch McConnell’s leadership, the Senate GOP has gone from 55 Senators to 40.

That’s most interesting, PJ!

Mitch is defintely in over his head in the leadership position. Like DUH.

I am watching c-span LIVE and the Republicans continue to talk about the CHRISTMAS EVE VOTE, so I’m not sure an “early adjounment deal” has been made.

Baucus and McCain are in a fight right now. Wow.

Baucus has mental issues. Wow.

He blew sky high. Lied his rear end off.

Claimed that Grassley of all people, didn't negotiate in good faith. LOL.

Now Ben Nelson has the floor. He's is trying to justify his special treatment.
