DEMOCRATS FINALLY GET BOLD — PASS CENSURE OF FEINGOLD
By Don Davis :sarcasm:

In a rare show of unity, the Democratic Caucus, by near unanimous vote, has passed a Resolution censuring Senator Russell Feingold, for his proposed censure of the President for violating the FISA law.

Addressing the press in the Capitol Rotunda, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid stated that Senator Feingold had violated the Democrats’ 11th Commandment. Unlike the GOP’s 11th Commandment, which bans speaking ill of another Republican, the Democratic version strictly prohibits taking a principled stand, or exploiting any weakness in your opponent.

While one Democratic insider defended this tactic as “rope-a-dope” or “playing possum,” many grass-roots activists have expressed concern that it is more akin to “playing groundhog,” given the Democrats’ propensity to see their shadow, and then to disappear for six years.

The Democrats are also considering a censure of Senator John Kerry, for his vote AGAINST funding for the Iraq war (after he voted FOR it).

While these controversial moves have created a significant rift between Democratic politicians and the liberal blogosphere, there appears to be universal support to censure Senator Joe Biden, for his donning of a Princeton cap during the Alito hearings. An unnamed Democratic staffer confided that Senator Biden’s transparent attempt to hide his thinning hair ordinarily would have been overlooked, but that it constituted his second offense, counting his infamous “hair-plug” affair almost two decades ago.

2. LOL

Well I would be laughing out loud, but it's so close to the truth I'm crying instead.;(

3. The problem is that most Americans don't support censure and

democrats don't have a majority. I don't understand how anyone thinks this would ever fly given those circumstances. I am all for trying though.

5. You should go read the "BreakingNews" on this issue, it came out today

You're very wrong!

[skipos]

8. 42% of Americans support censure, 60% of dems support it

I stand by my statement: most Americans don't support censure.
Jeeze, 40% of DEMOCRATS don't support censure and we DON'T HAVE MAJORITIES. Public spanking (censure) of Bush is not going to happen anytime soon. Lets get our majorities back and then maybe we can do something.

6. censure is so weak..

Impeach, Indict, Imprison

THAT'S the way to go...

That the dems are so reluctant to even slap this MF on the wrist for violating the consitution and breaking the law is so, so sad.

[skipos]

7. And we need majorities for that to happen.

That's what I am working for in 06.

10. It's a lot stronger than doing nothing. And, it's strong enough to

draw lots of criticism. If was simply weak, no one would pay much attention to it. Just vote it down and that's that.

12. I don't give a damn about it flying.

I just want to see some Democrats stand up like they freaking stand for SOMETHING.

13. Why do the "right thing" and what JUSTICE demands anyway, right?

Better to cower and remain complicit in the RAPE of our country, than to STAND ON PRINCIPLE, damn the consequences.

God forbid we should ever take the "right" stand!

4. Too close to the truth to be truly funny.

The Dem leadership does not fully sense the anger out here. Russ Feingold is right.

9. 11th Commandment

GOP version: Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican, especially Bush.

Congressional Democratic version: Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican, especially Bush.
