Bitchassness

Diddy was right, bitchassness is a disease and it can spread like wildfire if left unchecked. One has to look no further than the Senate Democratic Caucus where seems to be spreading like the hanta virus. Exhibit A Senator Patrick Leahy

The Committee has not yet received the names of other designees for high-ranking Department of Justice officials that we had anticipated and more time is now available to the Judiciary Committee. Therefore, to accommodate the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, at their request we are delaying the hearing, again, until January 15. The Assistant Republican Leader said last year that ‘attorney general nominees have been confirmed, on average, in approximately three weeks.’

Nonetheless, in order to accommodate the Republicans members, I am rescheduling the hearing on Mr. Holder for twice that long, until more than six weeks after his official designation.It is disappointing to me that they are insisting that we delay at a time when the nation needs its top law enforcement officer and national security team in place and working. I trust that with this additional time to prepare, they will cooperate in proceeding promptly to Committee and Senate consideration of the historic Holder nomination as Democrats did for President Bush.




And to think I was calling for Leahy to replace Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader just a few days ago. Of course he had me fooled with his fire breathing dragon act.


I guess this cartoon sums it up.

    Reading that makes me sad on the inside.

  2. That the Senate Dems are proving his point makes me even sadder.

  3. Too true. And now Hillary and the pair of balls she was so willing to lend out are headed for State, and Caroline Kennedy is angling for her seat. It may be time for the Senate Dems to bring out their meanest player, their trump card: the reanimated corpse of Lloyd Bentsen.
