Dems to tantrum Bush nominees |
2005-02-16 |
ScrappleFace(2005-02-15) -- Faced with President Bush's renomination of 12 previously-blocked judicial nominees and a potential Republican rewrite of Senate rules to prohibit filibusters of judicial nominees, Democrats today warned the White House they would invoke the Senate "tantrum rule" to stymie the president's efforts. |

#8 The tantrum rule allows for vocal and physical expressions of displeasure, including, but not limited to, "whining, screaming, holding one’s breath, fist pounding and flopping about on the carpet. Sarge! You got it... The distance between ScrappleFace and the News grows ever narrower... Of course producing flatulance will prove once and for all that their stuff does stink. Another facade will have come down. |

#7 I, for one, welcome the speeches offered by our Donk adversaries. They've done so well for them in the past. Maybe Kennedy can use more "drowned" or "treading dangerous waters" analogies |

#2 All problems are rooted in "the crisis of self-belief," says Cold Warrior supremo, Robert Conquest. http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2005/01/28/109.html No way! I think we are too generous with attributing charismatic authority to undeserving swine, and we are being led to a tolerance trap. I offer mean-spirited government, conducted in an atmosphere of general nastyness. SAY DOOM! |
