Originally posted as a comment on the BooMan thread about Russ Feingold’s principled stand on the Senate floor today regarding the criminality of the Butch administration (Live Blogging Russ’s Speech) and the absolutely cowardly response of “our” so-called Democratic leaders to his attempt at getting this information on the record and into the little pie hole brains of the American sheeple.
Read on. ( I am SO angry at these fools.)
Feingold’s resolution not getting any backing.
Yup.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., said he had not read it either and wasn’t inclined simply to scold the president.
“I’d prefer to see us solve the problem,” Lieberman told reporters.
Across the Capitol, reaction was similar. Feingold’s censure resolution drew empathy but no outright support from Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi “understands Sen. Feingold’s frustration that the facts about the NSA domestic surveillance program have not been disclosed appropriately to Congress,” her office said in a statement. “Both the House and the Senate must fully investigate the program and assign responsibility for any laws that may have been broken.”
And Hillary?
Silent as the grave.
All “Presidential” and such. (She IS a pro, after all…)
Like I said:
Pelosi, Reid, Clinton, Bayh, Warner, Edwards, Small k kerry and the rest head for the hills.
The real left applauds Feingold.
Nothing happens in Congress on this matter.
Just as it always was.
I got yer DemocRatic party.
Right HERE!!!
Whadda buncha maroons!!!
Cowards, too.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But nothing lost, either.
The Democratic motto for today.
Hell…for this DECADE.
Russ…go talk to Howard.
Start another party before it’s too late.
They are not going to back you, these DemocRats.
What if an “At long last, have you no shame” moment occurred and no one in a position of power even READ it? Or made believe that they didn’t hear it?
Or weren’t even in the room.
“Russ who!!!???”
Senator Joe for Pres. No…not Biden. Not Lieberman. McCarthy.
Joe McCarthy for President in 2008.
What the hell…may as well go for the real thing.
At long, LONG last…there is no shame.
Mighty Casey done struck out; we are knee deep in Mudville, and the Big Muddy is swirling up around our knees already.
Who ya gonna call?
FEMA?
Reid?
“Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada declined to endorse it and said he hadn’t read it.”
Don’t be absurd.
Too LATE for politics as usual.
Time for ACTION.
Russ is the real thing.
That’s what SCARES ’em.
Dean and Feingold in ’08.
The New Party candidates.
FUCK these motherfuckers!!!
“Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada declined to endorse it and said he hadn’t read it.”
Right.
Sweet JESUS!!!
Senator XYZ (D) of the great state of Gambling said that he had never even HEARD of Joseph Welch and that if he had he wouldn’t admit it. No comment.
“Joe WHO!!!????
“Russ??? Sounds familiar…”
We are in trouble here.
BIG trouble.
What if a tree falls in the Senate and no one admits to hearing it?
Russ Feingold.
“Russ WHO!!!???”
Non-person.
“Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada declined to endorse it and said he hadn’t read it.”
Nice.
Las Vegas.
It’s what’s for dinner.
What was it that Paul Hackett said after Reid, Schumer et al middled-of-the-roaded him right off the Ohio political scene last month?
Oh yeah. Here it is:
Yup.
Get a life,
Get a PARTY.
“Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada declined to endorse it and said he hadn’t read it.”
C’mon…
AG
