Democrats Filibuster Bolton Nomination

The other day, seven slimy saps made a deal with the weasels and jackals to "save the senate". What was it "an historic deal" a "bond of trust and cooperation"? Well piss on that, apparently.

Fox News is reporting that the Democrats have succeeded in holding up the Bolton nomination. Since Arlen Specter apparently left Washington for the weekend, the Republicans lack one vote of being able to invoke cloture and break the filibuster that the Democrats claim is not a filibuster. Since the Senate now stands in recess, a vote can't be set for Bolton until Tuesday, June 7th. Majority Leader Frist, switched his vote to the Democrat's side so that, being on the winning side, he could set another vote to occur before noon on Tuesday, June 7th.

Let's hope that Bush recess-appoints Bolton while the weasels, jackals and spineless Republicans are sucking up to their constituencies over the Memorial Day recess. (By the way, what do I have to do to get a week and a half off for Memorial Day?)

I just heard the chief weasel Harry Reid exclaim, "We're not here to filibuster Bolton we're here to get information on Bolton." Well what the hell have you been doing for the past two months? A filibuster by any other name is a filibuster.

Brit Hume made the comment that the Republicans are losing control of the Senate. How true and how sad. More on this later.
