#1 The long awaited fall of the Barry's Sturmabteilung...I hope. I'm still waiting for an overseas Mooslim connection to surface. This may drag on for a while, even with the recent revelations. The question of the Community Organizer in Chief signing it is yet another issue.

#2 It wouldn't surprise me if the dragging on were intentional, Besoeker. Turnabout being fair play and all that.

#3 So much for Senator Gillibrand's 'conservative' Democrat farce.

I wonder if John Kerry voted?

#4 The real test is whether the House follows through as well. I doubt it will - Pelosi and others back ACORN heavily. But we'll see.

Hey, I'll support that! People should have a right to be poor if they want to!

#9 Those that didn't vote could have been out of town. The Usual Suspects are the ones who voted No, though there would have been eight Nos if circumstances had been a little different.

#10 No surprise McShame was absent.

#11 An alternative reason for some of those Repubs not voting for it is that they may be seeking an even stronger cut to ACORN - there is, I think, a bill in the House that would do that.

#12 There is some buzz today that ACORN now faces a possible RICO type prosecution.

#13 Mebe Barry will eventually be called to testify either for or against his former employer. Rubbish, never mind.

#14 McCain and Graham have the same views on amnesty as ACORN.

#15 McShame and Grahamnesty were together doing a town hall in SC.
Byrd is very ill.
Vitter probably wants to stay as far away from anything involving a prostitute as he can.

#16 We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! - Governor William J. Le Petomane

#17 Looks like the Senate had no choice on this one. Musta seen the pimp/prostitute video and ran for the hills.

They still have no cred with me.

A senate rebuke and $3.00 will buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
