 Harry The Spineless Wonder no longer has the "we don't have 60 seats" excuse. He needs to shit or get off the pot now. 


Someone wants a pony.

This is where its going to get really fun - the primitives seem to believe something magic happens with a 60 seat majority. the problem is, about a third of the Dems aren't total moonbats.

Ahhh yes the reality that now only a small part of the Dems are as crazy as the DUmp and that President Eurkle can't get everything he wants is going to collide with the reailty that is the DU membership . The Titanic had it easy.

Senator Tim Johnson (D-South Dakota), who probably won't run for re-election.

But the primitives need to bone up on some history.

During the Johnson administration (1963-1969) and the administration of the Incompetent One (1977-1981), even though the Democrats had a near-two-thirds majority in the Senate (close to, but not quite 67), that still didn't stop filibusters.

It's going to be fun to watch.

Their level of happiness won't increase any, all that power in their party and they will still be angry, rebellious, miserable children.

Of course.

These are primitives, after all; infantile beings.

Robert Byrd is still hospitalized as well, I believe.

I know the DUmmies are delusional...but if they think that Stewart Smalley is the missing piece to the Liberal puzzle and that suddenly all of Obama's programs will get passed they are worse off than I thought.

I'd say that the Coach's Senator, Ben Nelson, is going to throw a monkey wrench into the Obamachine, too.

Well, unfortunatley on our side of those numbers, we have Johnny Boy and the two nominally-Republican ditz sisters who are all three likely to defect on any flake issues like cap-and-trade.

When Air America first started up 5 years ago, the DUmmies were all excited that Al Franken was going to be the cornerstone of their network.  As it turned out, Franken wasn't nearly liberal enough for them.

I doubt the likes of Lenin and Stalin would be considered left enough for them.

That's been true even minus the 60, but even more true now.  Doesn't matter, the primitves will still blame Republicans.
