Oh, those wacky, Republicans...

Yep, at a time when they should be passing a budget, they've called for an all-nighter, hoping to find a Dem asleep at the wheel.

The issue: judges. Seems that when the Repubs were busy "doing their duty" in blocking dozens and dozens Clinton's appointments, when the Dems try to block 3 of Bush's they cry "Obstruction!"...

These guys are a bunch of cry babies. They want what they want when they want it...

And they don't mention the 168 appointees the Dems DID support!

It's a wonder that such a boring kvetchathon gets news coverage.

Congress    Slumber      Why do these words seem to go so well together?

Because the second usually follows the first. *wink* *wink*

I love it 'cause the whole thing's gotta backfire in their faces. Before the Republicans pulled this little stunt, how many folks were aware that the Dems have blocked 4 Bush nominees while the Reps blocked something like 63 Clinton nominees? Hardly anyone. I didn't know it. Guess what? I know it now and so do a lot of other people. Lotsa people gotta be askin', "63 to 4 and you're bitchin' about it?"
