Repugs disrupt Lantos memorial service.
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 04:49 PM by 11 Bravo
Just when you think these bastards couldn't get any lower, they come up with shit like this - scheduling a fucking procedural vote in the middle of of a man's funeral. Every Democratic candidate should voice outrage over this.

3. Thanks, I fixed mine as well, but my typing skills are on a par with Bush's powers of elocution.

7. Ya mean Barack may be reaching out to the other side for nothing?

These are the same people that Obama is pretending will play nice with HIM as soon as that petty old WOMAN gets out of his way. Change... it's on the way... But, unfortunately, the only change will be in the Obama excuses for why it isn't working the way he promised.

6. I still can't get over losing Tom Lantos. Sometimes we take people for granted.
Congress will never be the same. I loved this guy!

10. lower than low
Mad Respect to Lantos. He was a great man.

The repugs' behavior in this matter is reprehensible. Damn them. As a friend of mine used to say, what do you expect from a hog but a grunt. Still, it's low, even for a repug.
