Revisions/extensions (10:05 am 4/2/2007, with a timestamp update) – Dingy Harry and Russ el-Slimeroad aren’t waiting to introduce their certain-and-swift-defeat bill. Also, I’m pissed enough to unhide the rest of the original.
Revisions/extensions part 2 (5:56 pm 4/2/2007) – Curt at Flopping Aces skewers Reid and Feingold far better than I did below, bringing back the Dingy One’s recent and not-so-recent words to haunt him, as well as el-Slimeroad’s fresh admiration for the last time we retreated and defeated, despite what that lead to. Again, if you didn’t blogroll Flopping Aces, I recommend it after you read that.
(H/T – Owen) Also, there is a salty-language warning here because I am right pissed off. If you want the “clean” version, head on over to No Runny Eggs – TownHall and don’t click the “more” link.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has signed on to Russ el-Slimeroad’s (Moonbat-Al Qaeda) defeat-by-next-April plan, which features a mandatory 120-day start on retreat and no more funds for the Iraq front after 3/31/2008. Reid promises that the el-Slimeroad certain-defeat plan will be voted on by the Senate when (hopefully not “if”) the weaker forthcoming conference plan is vetoed.
A few things:
– El-Slimeroad said, “Congress can’t afford to be characterized as backing down at this point…. If he vetoes it, he’s basically challenging us to accept his will.” Isn’t your desires for dhimmitude and an emasculated Presidency what you and the DhimmiRATs are trying to cram down the President’s and our throats, Russ?
– If a pork-laden, mealy-mouthed “soft” defeat date could only get through the Senate by a single vote, what makes Dingy Harry and el-Slimeroad think that a hard-and-fast certain-defeat will get through? Hey dumbshits, the first rule of compromise is that you start with what you want and go down to what you will accept, not the other way around.
– If the goal is merely the handover of Iraq to either al Qaeda or Iran, why start small and ratchet up when there is no arguable victory in small ball? I think the goal is to find 16 RepubicRATs willing to do what no ‘Rat did in 1999. Impeachment, as we found out, is more a political exercise than a legal or even a Constitutional one, and Senators are more likely to vote for a conviction on a trumped-up charge of defying Congress than for breaking an actual law. Considering that Quislings Cut-and-Hagel and Gor(d)on Smith have embraced retreat-and-defeat, and Cut-and-Hagel recently brought forth the “I” word in glowing terms, they’re at least 1/8th there. I wonder if Hiliary Rotten Von Der Schlikmeister and Barak Bin Obama realize that they’re nowhere on the Presidential succession list, and that the power of incumbency, even one ill-gotten, is nigh impossible to overcome.
Well, FUCK you, el-Slimeroad, FUCK you Dingy Harry, FUCK you SanFranNan, and FUCK you DhimmiRATs.
