You Can Call Me Senator from Minnesota

Short of denying Droopy his precious Homeland Security committee chairmanship, we’ll have to settle for Al Franken telling him to STFU on the Senate floor today.

Douchebag Joe was blathering on about something, and Senator Al (presiding over the session) told him his allotted ten minutes were up. Douchebag Joe requested another moment. Senator Al declined.

At which point Droopy’s BFF Psychogeezer erupted in high umbrage:

I don’t know what’s happening here in this body, but I think it’s wrong… I don’t like it, and I think it harms the comity of the Senate.

We must have missed McCain’s complaint yesterday when Republicans demanded that all 767 pages of Bernie Sanders’ single-payer healthcare amendment be read aloud, effectively stalling the process until it was withdrawn.

I saw the clip of Bernie going after Coburn for trying to run the clock. Incredible restraint, maybe too much, in a moment that cried out for apocalyptic vulgarity.

Motherfuckers turned off lights and denied hearings when they were in charge, remember?

Comity my ass.

@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches: No kidding. Time to nail Lieberman’s ears to the floor and shit on his face.
