Senate Passes Massive Steaming Log, Leaves It At The Steps Of The House
October 1st, 2008 at 9:45 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesIt’s steamy. And it’s sitting at the steps of the House. I can see some of the House Reps cracking their office doors and looking out at the log. They can smell it. Due to its massive size, they are amazed that the Senate was able to force it out of their collective legislative anus. A few of them just wretched retched.
Harry Reid is currently speaking to the press. He notes that “they (the U.S. Senate) are not going to let our economy fail.”
Reid may be worried that the economy may not be able to fail all by itself, so he wants the Federal Government to make damn sure it happens.
Mitch McConnell has stated that this is the “Senate at its finest.”
Taking your money and wasting it and shunning accountability for all involved. That sounds like the U.S. Senate to which I’ve become resigned.
They are each stepping up to the podium to pat themselves on the back for their “bi-partisanship”. I hope they all painfully dislocate their shoulders.
Congratulations, you thieving bastards.

I’m with you, Karen. I guess my impassioned emails and phone calls to Corker and LAMAR! didn’t do a whole lot of good. Then again, it was an opportunity for them to grab a big sack of money and power for the Federal Goverment, their biggest constituents.

It seems writing both my esteemed Senators had little effect as well.
I can’t believe the clowns added additional pork to their can of peaches.
What a disaster. Hey, it’s only our tax-money money.

A good portion of Senators and Congressmen are Lawyers. Irony. No, palpable culpability.

What a classic and appropriate visual … and olfactory? image. Beautiful.
The other day, my analogy was that the House Republicans put the bill in a bag, lit it and rang Pelosi’s doorbell. Maybe they will do it again.
Note … Market futures are lower tonight.
Note, too … virtually all of them in tough re-election fights are voting “No”. House vote will be much closer.

Well said, with the exception of the word “wretched”.
Wretched is an adjective meaning “deeply afflicted, dejected, or distressed in mind or body”. Retched is the past tense of the verb to retch, which means “to make an effort to vomit”.
It is entirely possible that some of the members felt wretched at the sight, let alone the stench, of the Senate’s “present”. It is equally possible that some members retched. However, I think it more likely that the members sent their staffers for bibs and cutlery. After all, waste not; want not.
Cordially,
The Professor

Thank you Professor. If only Wordpress had a spell-checker, I could blame it on that, but instead I’ll blame it on delicious Jameson Irish Whiskey. Heaven knows I’m not going to make myself accountable for such an error. One day I hope to be a congressman.

At least your impairment was temporary rather than genetic! That, I think, would necessarily disqualify you for running for Congress.
