Well, it seems evident from listening to the debate that anything other than a rather dim bulb in the attic tends to pervade the Senate. But not all Senators suffer from this malady. Senator Patty Murray (D-Washington State) laid down one helluva speech last night. She put it right where it's at!

I voted for her. And will again. And Jim McDermott is the congressional representative from my district. I voted for him also. And will again. I'm watching Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Washington State) very carefully to see whether or not I'll vote for her again.

Keep track, folks. That's politics in action.
