I really like how he spits out “Republican” like it’s a filthy bucket of mop water, and says “This is the US SENATE” with the unspoken “BITCH” at the end.
Blistering contempt is pretty much the only response Senate Republicans are due right now:
A.
nice somebody remembers that constitution.
I told my senators on Thursday to be sure they’re fully behind Dodd on this one.
It’s nice to see a Democrat willing to say “Whatever underhanded arguments you use to get your way now, I’m going to use later on you, unless you quit on it.”
His were good words. Still, by my lights, he was too damn polite. What did he call McConnel? Was it, “My esteemed colleague”? Sheeeit. I realize a modicum of civility need (or probably should) be maintained in congress. But a simple “the senator from Kentucky” would suffice. To refer to that bluegrass pissant in laudatory terms is tantamount to kissing his ass, as far as I’m concerned.
