Ted Cruz's fauxlibuster is over.

[11 Bravo]

Now Marco Rubio is trying desperately to burnish his 2016 teabagger cred.

[onehandle]

1. So Obamacare is dead?

Congratulations, Senator Goatfucker!

[Drale]

2. What exactly are they filibustering?

The Senates never going to vote on the House Bill and even if the Senate votes on a bill the House is never going to vote on it so we are stuck at an impasse anyway.

[sharp_stick]

5. They aren't filibustering

just yapping to get some cash up for the teabagger nomination in 2016.

[geek tragedy]

6. Senate will vote on the House bill, and will strip the obamacare

defunding out of it.

[Cali_Democrat]

10. So the cloture vote already passed?

[geek tragedy]

16. Cloture vote is this afternoon. Mike and Ted's excellent adventure ends there. nt

3. Rubio, Paul, and the Canadian douche are all trying to out-filibuster each other.

It's all Republicans can fucking do: blather endlessly, self-promote, achieve nothing. No proposals, no workable ideas to improve anything, just constant attempts at "star turns". You can bet Cruz saw Paul's stupid-ass "don't drone me bro" filibuster as a success of sorts and has been planning his own for months.

9. Canadian Douche, no more.

My brother sent me this. I thought it was fantastic.

11. LOL--that's pretty good!

4. Not quite yet...

He just tag-teamed with Rubio, and he's back with the sillibuster...

[pinboy3niner]

8. Send in the clown...

[rock]

7. For those interested I have compressed the entire speech (see below)

0

[hatrack]

12. Or, for those who actually sat through the entire speech . . .

[rock]

13. LOL

Good 'un!

[NightWatcher]

14. They're trying to out bagger each other

This isn't going to end well for them.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. He's now arguing with Durbin

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. Now, if Harry were the nasty sort...

...he could just delay the vote until 9:00 AM tomorrow, and let Teddy Teabag stew in his own Depends a few hours more.

Not that I would do such a thing, of course.
