33. Why not just seat them both and tell these cave-dwelling GOP madmen to...
... go fuck themselves twice in the most painful ways possible? Then swear them both in, seat them briefly, then take the afternoon off, have a tourist day at the Smithsonian or just walk the mall, and let these assholes rant and rave with only each other and a lone C-span camera for company.

What the fucking hell is it with these invertebrate idiots? Why is it so difficult to at least pretend to be an opposition party?

I'm pretty sure of the answer, but it's so awful I'd prefer to be completely wrong. I doubt it, though. Not after watching Reid and Pelosi grovel and smirk and cave while doing their level best to bury bills or resolutions that might actually help the peasantry, while making certain to meet or exceed anything the Bushies want, no matter how crazy or outrageous.

Whether it's getting supplemental appropriations bills through the house and senate, authorizing tens of billions more for the war department to squander on an illegal occupation and campaign of mass murder just so the war profiteering can continue right on its happy happy way.

Or emptying the treasury for the benefit of the Wall St. criminal class, this on direct orders from the Bushies who can find a way to wring blood out of a turnip as long as it can be converted into a stable currency. And their cronies benefit, too!

What a wonderful world it's become since the wingnuts finally got their coup, fronted by an imbecile so thick that he literally defies comparison except with victims of severe developmental disabilities. And the world got to experience a new and ultra-violent rogue state and sponsor of international terrorism, ruled by the greediest international criminal syndicate on earth, with eight solid years devoted to stealing everything they could get their filthy hands on from any country with some valuable natural resources.

Oh... and gawd bless Amerika v2.0, leading the emerging fourth world in torture, slavery and ignorance. Yup... We're Number One all right.
