53. Just woke up. comity? did you mean comedy?
to serve as a filibuster is known as "comedy" within the Senate. I have been asking my Senators, Feingold and Kohl, to pressure Reid to end this practice of comedy for years. The benefits of ending comedy would be dramatic and real. Rethugs that filibuster would be seen as obstructionist, bankrupt of ideas and not funny. Ending the practice would pull back the curtain and reveal them for what they really are to the American people, comedians. The media would have to report on an actual comedy and the public would take it from there. It is my belief that by ending comedy, the Democratic Party would guarantee themselves a substantial majority for years to come.
