The guy managed to piss me off almost instantly with his inflammatory speech. His rhetoric sounds positively fascistic in a very literal sense.

The faster the current Republican majority can self destruct the better, IMO.

Until Republican politicians start openly disagreeing once more with their party leadership, the only way to describe what's happening inside the Beltway is "sick".

The republican senators all fell into line then? Lovely.

There is nothing quite like openly docile politicians.

Since I couldn't get to sleep last night, I was treated to two-hours of The Gauntlet (AKA: His Senate testimony) on C-SPAN and I must say, I know nothing more about him than I did before though I did get a general idea of him being a douchebag.

That's good enough for me though.

I saw a bit of his testimony on the dutch news and I could only laugh.

He actually implied the US government cares about the UN and diplomacy and stuff.

Honestly, if were as anti-UN as this guy is, I would at least have some balls and admit it rather than acquiescing and being Senator Feingold's bitch on live TV.

Nah, just saw the bit where one democrat stated it wouldn't be in the US' best interest to have someone with his reputation represent them and him stating that he'd blah dee blah diplomacy blah dee blah importance of the UN.

I was just viewing this Blast from the Past when I'm pretty sure Palpatine shows up right after GWB says "Evil".

It all makes sense, In a country where oil companies control environmental policy and pharmaceutical companies make drug laws, Senator Palpatine is the perfect face for diplomacy in America.

Bush as performance artist, don't forget his masterpiece, Doctor Rice as Secretary of State.

This administration excells at Fear & Loathing.

yeahwho,

The Republican majority won't implode. They know too much is at stake to risk their hegemony on stupid things like morals and principles. To get 'em out you gotta kick 'em out.

Fact is, Republicans are much better organisers than democrats, thats how they got to where they are now. Democrats need to up their game

They are a sick bunch if you askn' me, I listen to and read the peripheral Republican PR machine via their blogs, radio and TV and it just is amazing how much crap these people will listen to and believe. Savage Nation is so incredibly vile, yet he has a market share even here in Democratic WA. ST.

They are mudslingers at best, but usually they're just hypocritical to the point of outright pathological lying. Sick shit. That is what the Democratic party is up against...some very twisted sick shit. They will have to get in the mud and start a steady stream of Bullshit today to win, Howard Dean better get his party up and slinging the mud ASAP, because I do not see any high road to the White House.

Interesting since they (the local news) said he voted 'Yea'. You are correct, his website and yours agree...he voted 'ney'.
