Democrats Throw Temper Tantrum

Apparently, the Senate Democrats have decided to hold a closed session today to throw a little temper tantrum.

First they were disappointed they didn't have a white "Fitzmus" --Rush's nickname for all of the indictments the Dems were gleefully hoping for. Instead of snowing indictments for Cheney and Libby, indictments focusing on intelligence leading up to the Iraq War, they only got a few purjury/false statement indictments for old Scooter. (Who hardly any Americans really know of or care about, outside of us political junkies.)

Then Miers withdraws and they are shaking in their boots about Alito --a nominee they know is qualified and just aren't sure how they're going to thwart yet. They're hoping everyone will forget a Democrat-controlled senate unanimously voted him in as circuit judge in 1990 and now suddenly deem him as very "extreme" -extreme enough to invoke the old filibuster.

And after being so hopeful of Bush's impending doom, all of a sudden things are starting to look up very quickly for Dubya. Well, they can't have that, dammit! They were promised a white Fitzmus and even more trouble for Bush!

So now they've decided to throw a tantrum. Let's forget that Clinton in the '90s and these very Senators throwing this tantrum cited the same U.S. intelligence about Iraq. Let's forget that world intelligence also supported what Bush and U.S. Intelligence was telling us before the Iraq war. Let's forget that our soldiers (you know, the ones the Democrats care so much about with the casualty numbers) are still over in Iraq fighting. Let's forget every other important issue we have to discuss and debate and vote on for the good of this country and throw a flipping tantrum drumming up the Iraq intelligence issue!

They are getting desparate, folks. As a republican, rather than worry, I'm reassured...
