(Washington, D.C.) In a bold move, following a stirring floor speech by Sen Robert Byrd (D-WV), Democrats have declared that ice is freezing cold. In response, congressional Republicans, led by Dick Armey (R-TX), held a press conference voicing their opposition. Armey is quoted as saying, "If the Democrats say ice is cold, you know it's got to be hot and that's where I'll make my stand. We're not gonna let'em get away with this." Senate Minority Leader, Trent Lott, was less strident in his position. He said that ice was not nearly as cold as Byrd claims, but he'd be willing to work on a compromise measure with fellow senators.
Sometimes, the D vs. R stuff is just too funny.
