You lost me... my post was about Senator Biden.

Tom Daschle and Scott Ritter both should be hung for treason if they cant explain their flip flop on Iraq. Fact is they were lying several years ago or they are lying now. As for me I chose to believe they are both liars and political partisan. Ritter may even actually be a traitor bought with foreign money from the indications I see. It is a known fact Saddam has not destroyed any weapons of mass destruction since Daschle and Ritter declared how dangerous they were four years ago. The only thing that has changed is the politics in the WhiteHouse.

I was referring to the UN and the fact Biden said we needed that "blessing." That's what I meant by Bush giving the UN a "courtesy" interview. Did I make myself clear or did I mess that up? If I did...sorry. :)

Thanks for clarification. Much appreciated. Biden is slime.

You folks are on top of it regarding Daschle.

You have to give da$$hole credit for being consistent, and that's about it. He's consistently playing
Obstructionist - a part he knows so well.

Tiny Tommy Da$$hole:
What did he obstruct?
And when did he obstruct it?
Free the Daschle Fifty

House Majority Leader Dick Armey today called upon Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to vote on 50 bills that have passed the House and are stalled in the Senate.

"The American people want action," said Armey. "They don't want political posturing. The Democrat-led Senate has a responsibility to vote on legislation. In fact, it's their job."

They don't call me
Mr. Obstruction for nothing, ya know?

Thank you, kind sir for our daily reality views of the Da$$hole.

All of them are great. However, this political cartoon is my favorite as Da$$hole the anti American Obstructionist!

[cubreporter]

You're welcome. Sometimes I get so excited about the articles I get ahead of myself and as a result I don't always articulate the way I should. :)

Don't we have a 2003 budget to pass? What are we going to do, fight Saddam and al-Qaeda on five-day budget resolutions alone until the new Congress convenes in January?

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks, Grampa. I like that one too. I was lucky to find it too!

On a thread a few weeks ago, someone made a vague reference to a cartoon they'd seen in the L.A. Times and named Ramirez as the cartoonist. Thank goodness for Google Search and a little patience, I found it in their archives!

[Grampa Dave]

Good Questions, why don't you email the Da$$hole and ask him those questions.

If we don't have a budget, it is Da$$hole and his fellow Rats in their obstruction mode!

if tommyboy wants some real proof im sure we have some seal teams could drop him off for a week or so to get a first hand look if we are lucky it will be a one way trip

[Alas Babylon!]

Daschle doesn't want to ask questions, he simply wants to ensure Bush and the Republicans gain no political advantage. The sorry thing for Dashole is, they will (gain political advantage), not only because it's the right thing to do, but precisely because most Americans will agree with Bush and support him at this critical juncture. Dashole will appear to them not as the thoughtful, peace-loving man that he thinks he is, but as the obstructionist politican he actually is. How can any politican be so stupid? Or, is it Hillary's idea? In either case, it's political suicide for the democrats.
