[...] The boss, ever vigilant, is liveblogging the abortion known as the Senate Iraq sleepover for as long as she can stand it. I got my fill from Politico a few hours ago: buzzwords, grandstanding, grassroots garbage, all in the service of a foreordained 52-47 or 53-46 filibustered vote on cloture. If you missed it in March, I commend to you Bill Ardolino’s final post about his time as an embed in Fallujah, particularly the section “Politics and Why Some Fight.” My appetite for debate on this subject is where his was then; if not for my obligation to MM, I’d never write about it again. Here’s hoping that 24% approval rating of theirs cuts in half. God damn them. [...]

Well, lets put it this way…..the fred? groupies are the other side of that coin.

Thus ends your authority to comment on threadjacking, and you must pay EVERYBODY $100.

I don’t want to know who the 4% are, there are easily that many folk in any thousand who are insane, completely stupid, or just want to mess with a survey, without accounting for congressional staff/family, each of whom may also fall into one of those categories. I want to know about the 24% who fall in the areas of Mixed Feelings to Somewhat Approve.

Think about it, even Peacemother Sheehan hates congress now, who’s left to approve of their general failure to uphold their oaths? Are there that many liability lawyers in this nation?

The best way to ensure a Republican sweep in 2008 is for Pres. Bush and VP Cheney to both resign simultaneously, install Nancy Pelosi as President. It would become evident so quickly what a total disaster the radical left-wing Dems are that the nation would race to the right. Although, she could do a lot of damage in 18 months. Just look at the damage she has caused in 6 months.

Great! Thanks! I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Consider yourself lucky. The EMT doing CPR on me after my reading of bopbottle’s post caught a glance at the comment on the monitor and threw up a little in…I’m sorry, I thought I could speak about it, but the double trauma is still too fresh.

The 4% are probably people who don’t really pay any attention. All they know is that democrats are in charge so things must be going well.

So its that bad? I have intentionally stayed out of Vermont in the past few years. I looked at some Vermont GOP pages (one was good one looked like Drudge, but cheaper, and not intentional) and couldn’t see much. Why has Vermont Gone that way? If I remember right Carter didn’t even take Vermont and now it is insanely liberal.
Is this Liberalism exaggerated? Is it more liberal than Alabama is Conservative?

I hope he’s wearing golf shoes or baseball cleats.

“My sailor is in the gulf now…”
Mine also. He is aboard a carrier, rashed out from finger tip to elbow from jet fuel and cleaning solvents. He will tough it out though.

I find it amusing that Congress is getting more positive press, IMHO, than Bush, and he’s beating them in approval numbers. Granted, both have two feet firmly planted in the hole, but it looks like Bush is standing on Boxer’s head.

Doing great! My soldier is home for a few days and he deploys to Iraq mid September.

My sailor is in the gulf now, serving as a Damage control man on board a destroyer.

Thanks for asking and I appreciate your support.

Thank them for thier service for me.

Yeah, well you can expect to see left-leaning news outlets like CNN and MSNBC start harping on Congress’s ratings like they harp about Bush’s ratings on the next crisp snowy cold day in Hell. I mean, you hear the expression “Impeach Congress!” lately? Didn’t think so.

The 4% are clearly Fred groupies because now their buddy Fred? can write a rehashed essay about how much congress sucks and when he’s president[snort], he’ll ask God to change the the script of actors in congress so they’ll be easier to work with.

Bad news for the country is good news for a new Fred? essay. Vote for a somewhat charismatic TV lawyer and essayist with no executive experience (or outstanding anything) and a tendency to postpone important announcements, Fred? Thompson/Fred? Thompson ’08! Fred? Thompson, a man so mighty he can be President AND Vice President at the same time!
