If they want to filibuster, the GOP better make them really filibuster the old fashioned way. Let them stand up there for two weeks making asses of themselves, while Bush goes about the business of leading the country.

Too often, the GOP just wimps out, withdraws the nominee and says, "There's nothing we could do! They had enough votes for a filibuster."

Who knows, maybe they will be filiblustering when the bombs start droping on Iraq?

I like that. Then wait until they get to the really silly part of the filibuster, say Bird reminicing about his dog 'spook', and nail them w/ genuinely serious developments, as someone else said bombing Iraq.

I'd love to see them filibuster the old way. Maybe we could arrange to get Ted Kennedy on TV reading "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish."
