americablog.com — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid just shut down George Bush's secret effort to install some really bad judges and a homophobic Surgeon General nominee during the Senate's Thanksgiving recess. Shows you what the Democrats can do when they start realizing that they're now in charge.

Heh, congress is having a special session in order to "check-in" on the president like an uptight mother checking in on her teen age son and his gf (or goat).

Damn, I thought it was when the bell rang and all the politicians went out to play for 9 months.

That'svaluesseriousseriousoutPresjudgmentyersapologizestconsultrnsNTS OF RACIAL INSENSITIVITY OVER COSTUME IMPERILS IMMIGRATION POST– associated press PC INFRACTION HAS SERIOUS REPERCUSSIONS IN WASHINGTON. Whoops! Mrs. Myers (Rep)casts INAPPROPRIATE VOTE for costume at Halloween party and OFFENDS many by her INSENSITIVITY. Her attempts to REACH OUT to the OFFENDED are rejected (not being enough to sooth the horrible pain her vote has caused). Harry Reid (Dem), having “serious concerns” (about Mrs. Myers ability to vote appropriately?) will “consult” with fellow lawmakers to determine APPROPRIATE POLITICALLY CORRECT action on how to proceed with voting for confirmation. (A nearby observer was heard to remark “It’s BUSH’S FAULT!”). Senator McCaskill (Dem) said he “can forgive anyone who apologizes” but Mrs. Myers’ VOTE for the wrong costume shows “woeful lack of judgment” (Yes Senator, almost on the scale of Pres’ Bill and that little indiscretion in the Oval Office – Bill is still “reaching out” to young ladies, seeking forgiveness I presume).Will Mrs. Myers complete Sensitivity Training before Harry finds a “serious” course of action? Will Harry vote appropriately? Will Hillary take America in a new direction, and which direction will that be? Will “serious” Democrats gain seats in congress? Can the damage Bush has caused ever be undone? Should the Constitution be rewritten to reflect modern “values”? Anybody smell Rome burning?Stay tuned for updates as the comedy in Washington continues ….. “Tha-Tha-That’s all folks!”

I agree. One of the only mistakes our President Bush did was when he proclaimed that the Republicans were going to look forward and not back and that there would be no investigations of that rotten Clinton regime. BIG MISTAKE. Now we have over 600 investigations at one time running and nothing is getting accomplished, NOTHING. Now dirty Harry is attempting to stop the constitutional use of recess appointments to fill vacancies the dingy harry crowd won't confirm. So, you see I agree there needed to be some big time investigations of the Clinton mess. There were 26 people from that regime put in jail and many others escaped because one woman decided to set in jail for refusal to testify and a liberal judge let her out because of a "bad back" Haw, Haw, what a joke. The whole Clinton regime was a sexual joke and the terrorists gain enough power to improve on their first attack on the trade towers during the Clinton term. That is when something should have been done. Instead, Clinton bombed a baby milk factory the day Monica was supposed to testify. Haw, Haw! what a joke.

Looks like Bush wins again - Bush gets the Do-nothing Senate to stay in session over the holiday - maybe now that can actually get some work done - like dealing with appointment. Update: The Democrat approval rating is now 20% (Bush's approval rating is at 32%) Democrats like Reid are too inept to run a legislative body. Reid has a lower approval rating than convicted felon Lewis Libby. Strange, no real news service is covering this "story" - could this be another left wing wet dream?

The democrats are just as responsible. The democrats in Congress are f**king pansies.
