Incompetent Rubes and Boobs…
Check out this Washington Post story about the “debate on Iraq”.
Democrats rolled out cots and ordered pizzas as they settled in for a marathon Senate debate on Iraq last night that featured numerous speeches but little chance of getting any closer to resolving the stalemate over how to end the war.
Republicans were determined to block legislation forcing a withdrawal of combat troops, which was expected to come before bleary-eyed senators this morning in the nonstop session. Republicans dismissed the Democrats’ overnight effort as political theatrics and vowed to enforce a 60-vote threshold for passing the withdrawal proposal, which would bring most troop homes by May.
“The amendment will look just as bad at 3 a.m. as it does at 3 p.m.,” said Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.). “The Democrats’ all-night debate is nothing more than a publicity stunt—as Democrats have freely admitted.”
So, it’s a publicity stunt, a bit of political theater where the Democrats bring in beds to symbolize their willingness and ability to debate one of the most important issues of the day.
Who brings a bed to a debate?This issue is sooooooo important to me that I'll sleep here rather than someplace else! Sheesh! Who’s running this outfit? Woody Allen?
