It's draft pick time for our super duper congress!! Here are my picks for our side.....

[oviedodem]

Since we all know that the right will put at least 2 tea bag freaks and maybe 1 moderate on their side, it is only fitting that we come up with our own. Maybe if we email call and annoy Harry Reid, the White House, and Pelosi they might listen. Feel free to chime in.

1. Kirsten Gillibrand
2. Bernie Sanders
3. Sherrod Brown
4. Barbara Lee
5. Xavier Becerra
6. Earl Blumenauer

This list I think is a good representation of liberal ideals and america.

Yes, I left out some folks notably Kucinich, Grijalva, and Frank but my reasons are simply that I don't think 2 ohioans should be there and Frank/Grijalva will get politicized to the tee. This list should offset the teabaggers that will ultimately be on the list like DeMint or Rand Paul

1. we need a tiger in there

I nominate David Wu.

[TheBigotBasher]

11. How about an actual tiger?

[Atman]

2. Here are my picks...

The Power Rangers.

Ninja Turtles.

Captain America.

James Bond.

(That's a few more than needed...kinda like the back-ups on Jury Duty).

WTF...it's fucking fantasy anyway. We've officially crossed into a new dimension of stupid.

4. I only did this because McChinless talked about looking at all R's

for his selection.

[Atman]

7. McChinless...another one of the Ninja Turtles.

Vermeer. Or is it Veneer?

[polichick]

3. My bet: a bunch of conservadems will "represent" our side.

[oviedodem]

5. Thats the problem; the kent conrads, heath schulers, Rockefellers etc

[woo me with science]

6. Third Way "Democrats" already saying Super Congress must cut Medicare and Social Security.

I have no doubt you are right.

[democrat_patriot]

8. List is out already.

The 'Left' side:

1. Joe Lieberman
2. Bill Nelson
3. Max Baucus

The 'Right' side

1. Eric Cantor
2. Rand Paul
3. Marc Rubio

Should be fine.

[Armstead]

9. It'll be the Gang of Six, or some variation of that

Not that it Should be. But it Will be.

[Unvanguard]

10. The Democrats should put six progressive "no" votes on the committee.

That might actually somewhat redeem this utter travesty.

But obviously they won't.

[mhatrw]

12. Lieberman, Zell Miller, Griffith, Altmire, Boren

Maybe Gene Taylor will come out of retirement?
