"Senate Republicans" are jerks!

Will they ever fight for a cause? Ever??? It's not enough that Harry Reid is a jerk but now it turns out so is Sessions! Fight you bleeping jerks or find yourself in the minority for years to come:

Senate Republicans warned the White House Wednesday that it's not a good time for a fight with Democrats over a new attorney general and predicted there would be one of President Bush nominates former Solicitor General Ted Olson.

"It would be a dicey vote," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a member of the Judiciary Committee. "It would be unfortunate to nominate someone who can't be confirmed."

Now, thankfully not all Senate Republicans are jerks:

The bubbling controversy spilled onto the Senate floor Wednesday, when Republican Leader Mitch McConnell warned that any holdup of the yet- to-be-named nominee would make hypocrites of Democrats who urged Bush to swiftly name Gonzales' successor. Nomination to confirmation of new attorneys general has taken on average three weeks since the Carter administration, McConnell said.

If Democrats delay the nomination, McConnell warned, "they'll show the American people that their concern for the department was insincere."

Trent Lott is such a ....

Oh. my. heck! This guy is worse than Bush! Why do these people want to shot themselves in the foot by taking on their supporters in this way? Who do they think their allies are going to be after this fight? Ted Kennedy? The NY Times? CNN? Do these people ever want to be elected again? You don't say this:

The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

At some point, Mr. Lott said, Senate Republican leaders may try to rein in “younger guys who are huffing and puffing against the bill.”

And expect the people to support you when this is all done. Trent Lott is dissing those who came to his defense after he was called a racist. He went on the Sean Hannity show and Sean supported him and has supported him since that episode. He even went on the Sean Hannity show to support his book. How dare he diss someone who has been so supportive.

Do you think they are deliberately trying to kill the Republican party? If I were a conspiracy nut, I would think that Ted Kennedy is actually the political genius that everyone thought Rove was (check out this picture and read this).
