Time for pitchforks.
Okay, I’ve got a deal for you: we cave on FISA, and you cave on the mortgage lender bailout. What do you say, Beary Oh!? On board?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My head just exploded.
I’d like to meet one, just one, of the six percent of people who has a great deal of confidence in Congress. They obviously don’t watch C-SPAN, or C-SPAN II!

I think Scotty McClellan is feeling quite friendly toward some congresspersons this evening. Who but Democrat Congressers would hold a doughy, pudgy, soft, dappled, melon-headed, gonad-deficient dicknose like that fat little knob McClellan as their great returning hero?
– When Congresses approval goes lower than the unemployment rate, will they finally get the message? (It may already be there!)

Just my luck. I ask a rhetorical question, and someone has a good answer! Damn, time for a mental dicktuck!
Hey BBH, Nancy Pelosi was referring to “reverse surveillance” regarding the FISA Change bill. She didn’t go into any specifics. Does she have any idea what she’s talking about?
– Short answer: No.
– But you might have noticed her obvious distress, because with Bushes recent reckassifying of certain details to get these assholes off his back, the committee shes on has been told enough now that they’re all going:
“Oooooooooohhhh”.
Scott McClellan? Name sounds vaguely familiar. Probably had a book once.
– But you might have noticed her obvious distress, because with Bushes recent reckassifying of certain details to get these assholes off his back, the committee shes on has been told enough now that they’re all going:
“Oooooooooohhhhâ€Â.
I get the feeling that half these assholes just grab on to the “terminology” without completely understanding the concept. Most of these bills are written so poorly that they eventually need re-working, hence, the law of unintended consequence is always the end result. This shit is too serious an issue to keep fucking it up.
– The information that even committee members are given has to be limited because of clearance levels. Some operational details are given only on a “need to know”, even with the highest clearance. Within the NSA, or any secured facility for that matter, very few people know it all. Otherwise there would be no point in having a security system at all. As a staff scientist I had to actually lock up my notes in a safe every night before leaving work. Failure to do so, leaving them out on my desk, much less carrying them out the door, would get you a security glitch, Two glitches, you’re history. No appeal.
– Sandy won’t be getting any future clearances.

Do you feel congress will have to revisit this bill, again, soon? Like next congressional session?
– From her attitude I think she knows enough now to be, lets say, a bit less enthusiastic about chasing fairy tales. But you know how it is when you have a constituency like she does.
I’m reading the comments at Salon, and those people are fucking out of their minds. I find it rather hilarious, but I wouldn’t want to be a Democrat in the House right now regardless of the prospects of a heavily Democratic majority next congress.
– I’m not all that much concerned about a Dem controlled Congress. The majority of new Dems are getting elected becuase of their more centrist views. I know some on here don’t agree with my assessment of the power of the blue-dogs, but theres a reason that all talk of impeachment is suddenly off the table, and hardly any legislation has gotten passed, aside from the normal wait til after the election effects.
– If McCain gets the nod, then you will probably see a return to at least some guerrilla tactics. That is, after the loonies spend a year in therupy.
Keep your fingers crossed that there’ll be no SCOTUS reach around!
Here’s the thing: These polls are fun, but the Democrats in Congress are still poised to take over more seats. Meaning the “gee I don’t like them” polls mean absolute nothing.
Just behind HMO’s, huh? That’s gotta sting.
– True Christopher. But I smell a change that very few are talking about, and certainly would never be among the Obamatons, and that is maybe the very beginning sounds of unhappy and disillusioned Democrats, not all that thrilled with what the hard Left has done with the party. Some of my Dem friends have openly expressed hostility in some areas, saying they feel in some very real ways they have, in fact, been hijacked. At the moment there really is no room under the big tent for moderates, but thats just now becoming obvious to a lot of them. You don’t sing the party song, the entire Socialistic Narrative, loud and clear, you’re off the bus. Not any way to run an airline.
– Besides they say themselves that nothing has really been accomplished. A one seat majority is a virtual standoff. The Dems truly are split, and a lot deeper than they want anyone to know.
– The Convention promises to get all the blood and guts out on the table. But as bad as that might be, the worst thing that could happen is nothing. That would mean a sizable number of Hillery supporters have just walked away. Without them you can stand on your head with demographic maps until you’re blue in the face. O! will be toast.
Poll’s rigged or at least censored.
Crack-addled thai hooker trannies actually polled high than Congress.
It’s a ocver-up.
Hey BBH, quit jacking off while looking at pics of GWB’s bicep. You’re creepin’ even me.
– Someone must have left the doggie door open again,
Nah. thor saw himself in the mirror and thought, “no, can’t be, if it’s that ugly must be somebody else.”
Is this what thor saw? (NSFW)
– You have to excuse thor. He starts shaking uncontrollably whenever anyone mentions Obama and toast in the same sentence.

“Sorry about that, dude! I like, totally</b. didn’t intend to catch your scrotum in the chain.”
Right-handed keyboard strikes again.
You’ll see: as soon as the Dems regain control of Congress, all will be… this just in, erm… it’s Bush’s fault. O!
And Patrick… Agreed. High time for pitchforks. The framers of the Constitution would agree… those seditious vipers!
MD: You’ve got to stop masturbating.
Congress: Why, Doc?
MD: Because I’m trying to examine you.
HA! Google search “Confidence congress’s lowest ever” and hit the “news” button – and you find that this story is covered by …

Fay Observer (whatever that is)- but their headline is “Congress, Bush sit with low rating”

Nice to see this story is being covered!

I’ve been thinking that maybe the new Democrats in congress will be conservative enough to drag the party back towards rationality, but, I don’t much see it yet. It’s too bad that the moonbats seem to congregate in certain places and we wind up with a Pelosi or boxer. Her inability to accomplish anything, though, goes under the heading of “Thank God for small favors.
Harry Reid may not be around too long, unless he can get all the lunatics in Las Vegas to vote for him. I haven’t looked lately, but last I heard, Reid’s popularity in Nevada was headed into the can.
But I smell a change that very few are talking about, and certainly would never be among the Obamatons
It’s possible; if gas prices keep going up with no (or even contrary) action taken by the Democratic Congress and if the Countrywide scandal gets any legs (every blog and emailer needs to hammer this because the press won’t) then the results in November could result in a booming “depressed leftist” market for psychologists. It would be worth it to see McCain win and the GOP win seats in congress just to see the faces of the press on election night.
Back-to-back mid-afternoon snarkiest zinger praise goes out to McGehee. Mmm snark, tastier than microwaved grapes.
Alp, better finish spray painting your pentagrams and catch you some of this high praise I’m handing out.

There was a link to an article about the Bush disapproval rating reaching 69%, a perfectly lovely number, but they skimmed right over the Democratic Congress’ 88% disapproval rating. They never noted that President Bush’s approval rating was 2X as high as Congress’.
