IN FACT IT'S ON FACEBOOK READ BY SENATOR WARREN OUTSIDE THE CHAMBERS

I know McConnel is a shrewd sunofabitch, I'm not sure I buy that spin though. The left loves Warren and moving to the center isn't what the party needs to do to get the vote out. You can tell the Republicans are scared of Warren though.

It's okay. I myself made a stupid ass prediction about Obama being relieved of the presidency in less than a year.

Oh gawd.
You mean some radio show web-site has insulted a politician?

Holy Crap! If only we could harness this power against ISIS it would all be over!






And in other news, GOP members clapped GOP politicians on the back.


You know, if this were about putting somebody least liked out in the public eye, then we should give Elizabeth Warren props for pulling McConnell's strings. Maybe it's her who got McConnell's name in the public eye for doing something stupid...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky remains America's least-liked senator, with a disapproval rating of 49 percent.

Exactly!

Not sure how this is a backfire on the R's. Warren broke the rules, was warned, then broke them some more and was punished in accordance with the rules.
Now what we have is the face of the democratic party in the Senate being put in time-out like a petulant child (because she was acting like one). Not sure how that's a win for the D's.
