Doing the Right Thing for a Change....

....or are the Current Republican Congressmen a little leery of the New Congressman about to start in January?

The Lame Duck Congress is getting things done and some folks, like Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), doesn’t understand why. Why not wait until next term and negotiate with a whole new batch of republicans?

Quote of the Day:

"I can understand the Democrats being afraid of the new Republicans; I can't understand Republicans being afraid of the new Republicans"

I can understand it. Looks like ol’ Grahamnesty has not been paying attention to the unwashed Teabaggers that’ll be taking office next term. I wouldn’t want to negotiate with these folks either. How do you negotiate with people like the new Congressman from Tennessee, Scott DesJarlais:

According to Roll Call, in court documents:

“Susan DesJarlais accused her former husband of “dry firing a gun outside the Plaintiff’s [her] locked bedroom door, admission of suicidal ideation, holding a gun in his mouth for three hours, an incident of physical intimidation at the hospital; and previous threatening behavior ... i.e. shoving, tripping, pushing down, etc.”

How do you negotiate with this guy? I can just picture him pulling a gun and holding himself hostage on the House Floor. You can’t negotiate under those conditions.

I suspect Lindsey Graham has not been paying attention to the character and quality of his soon to be new colleagues.

He's Probably got the hang of it by now. So give'em another chance. And with the Supreme Court and the good Lord on his side, why not give it a try. Write in Bush.
