About time we got some humor in the Senate. I think the 60 number is funnier than all get out.

To SP4
No people in the world, not even the americans deserve what we had for the previous 8 years. They screwed up the worlds environment, The entire world economy, started 2 endless unwinable wars and destroyed all of americas respect and credability worldwide. And you wonder why the american people have elected a super majority. They elected them to undo the greed ridden policies of dick and george and co. (policies which profited nobody except dick and george and co)
SP4, now that rush limbau is the leader of the GOP and sean hannity is his
vice president do you see any future for your beloved party.
They seem to have no structure or message anymore except to try to block every change that the american people have overwhelmingly voted for.
But now they are screwed because not only are they yesterdays news (and bad news it was) but the dems have the super majority.
Run to the hills fat boy and join the militia. the commies are a commin.

The GOP, a party that lost it's balls. With Palin chucking in the towel, the party lost its ovaries, as well.

there is the presence of SP4 here to remind us that the GOP never had a brain either.
