A dark cloud gathers over Congress

[reality_hammer]

In the dark corridors of power Senators are seen muttering in dismay about the mere mortals who do not reside in Congress:

"Who do those people think we work for?!"

Newsflash, Senators, you work for us. And we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any longer.

Are we still going to revive the Whig Party? Because I was so into doing that. I had everything figured out. I suppose I still could. It would be a fun diversion. Trent Lott isn't invited.

That would be ironic. The Republican Party was born because the Whigs wouldn't do anything about slavery. I think the name would have to be changed, though. Perhaps they could revive "Bull Moose".

TR's Progressive Party. Perhaps "Bull Moose Whigs" as the official name. There's the option of "Radio Republicans." ^_^ I'd love to see the reaction to that one. It could be "Radio Party" officially on the ballot.

Ya know, the Trent Lott thing ...

... I defended him at the time, but flat-out attacking free speech is basically like disowning me.

Therefore, next time someone accuses the Republican party of racism, I'm going to hold up the ousting of Trent Lott as a shining example of how we rightfully get rid of racists in our party, whereas they've still got a former klan guy in the Senate.

(might as well use Lott for SOMETHING good.)

Sounds like a plan. The first plank of the Radio Party is that the racist Trent Lott isn't allowed to join.

I agree, but just to be fair, I did hear Senator Lott try to make up for his dumb statement on Hannity's radio show the other day.

Still what he said was way out of line, and it's gonna hurt him.

My two Senators voted the right way. :)

By the way, congratulations!

Ah, SNL.
