Ted Stevens throws a hissy fit

Stevens: 'This is the saddest day of my life'

Sen. Ted Stevens couldn't be seen for several hours Wednesday afternoon, but he could be felt.

For about nine hours, other senators wandered on and off the Senate floor while chatting with colleagues and trying to find a way to thaw the freeze that settled in after Stevens lost a vote on Alaska oil drilling...

His junior colleague from Alaska, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, estimated that she and Stevens spent about three hours mulling the question after the noon vote failed to cut off a Democratic filibuster. In the meantime, Stevens stayed off the floor.
"He had to breathe," Murkowski said...

Then, Stevens said, a group of House Democrats came to him and asked him to put ANWR language on the defense appropriations bill. (uh-huh, them dirty Dems did that) He said he felt justified in doing so, given that each house had approved the idea and given the urgency of the nation's economic and security needs for domestic oil. And he had the means to do so, as chairman of the House-Senate conference committee...

"I'm going to go every one of your states and I'm going to tell them what you've done," he warned senators who planned to vote for the resolution to remove the ANWR language from the defense bill. "I'm sure the senator from Washington will enjoy my visits to Washington, and I'm going to visit there often."

Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., led the floor fight against the ANWR provision and sponsored the resolution to remove it.

Meee-0w!

2. Priceless!

That sort of behavior is expected when a spoiled brat who always gets his way is finally confronted with the real world where you aren't coddled and spoon fed.

7. I watched most of his rant, it seemed like

he was threatening to quit. A "you'll be sorry when I'm gone" speech. Why do Repugs think they are so irreplaceable. It was hard to make sense out of what he was saying. Blubbered like an idiot, mostly.
