…pigs would fly, I know, but if McConnell had any sense of decency he would do the following:

Vote for the stimulus package in the Senate.

Why? So that his colleague, Sherrod Brown, would not have to leave his mother’s wake (say that again, in all caps: HIS MOTHER’S WAKE) in Ohio, fly to DC, cast his vote, and then fly back to Ohio in time for his mother’s funeral (say that again, in all caps: HIS MOTHER’S FUNERAL) tomorrow.

I mean, there is no doubt that the bill will pass. There is no question that Brown’s vote will be the needed 60th to ensure passage. The only other option, the only other vote to provide the margin of those who voted at the last, procedural hurdle is Ted Kennedy, and he’s dealing with brain cancer (caps again: BRAIN CANCER), so it falls to Brown, trying to bury his mother, or some one Republican with a sense of decency sufficiently developed to switch his or her vote in Brown’s stead.

1. "Sense of decency"? Yeah, that's been real evident.

2. A sense of decency?

We're talking about Repugs here!

3. I don't think any of them understand what decency means!

I hope Sherrod remembers just how "honorable" his fellow Pubs Senators really are!

4. We got any real Rabbis around here?

If so, how about a sermon on what it means, I mean REALLY means to be a mensch.

Because this goyim thinks that it sure would be a great thing if it was explained to the people of the US and we all started to act like one.

5. "Goyim" is a plural word. One is a "goy". nt.

6. So, I'm one of the many.
