1. She's not a woman to be messed with. I'm loving her spunk.

2. For the life of me, I don't see the difference between denying a quorum and a filibuster.

They are both techniques the minority can use to block a vote that they know they can't win.

3. Do these pasty white buttwipes EVER get tired of getting their asses handed to them??

4. Chip's sure concerned with Texas Democrats

Why didn't he interrogate Oregon Republicans when they walked out of the legislative session? One of them, a grandstander named Brian Boquist, even threatened the State Police should they attempt to make him do his job. I don't recall Chip being too concerned about that.

5. Who is he to be questioning them one by one like some grand inquisitor?
