(H/T – Ed Morrissey)
The Senate failed to invoke cloture on an ‘Rat attempt to close the American oil futures markets after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) attempted to ram it through without addressing the one item that would actually have a positive-for-consumers effect on oil prices – drilling oil here. In response, not only did the Dingy One pull the bill, he lashed out at the media for not giving him the same number of tongue-baths as they give Barack Obama.
Let there be a Senate shutdown. That’ll get Congressional approval ratings down to 5 percent.
How dare you question his royal majest Harry Reid!!!! Don’t you know he is above us dirty peons?
His rant almost reminded me of that scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the bloody peasants. :)
