When Democrats had a spine and a sac?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The debate over balancing the budget temporarily degenerated into name-calling and low comedy on the House floor Thursday. Democrats trooped to the floor to ridicule the Speaker Newt Gingrich for allowing his personal anger over a perceived snub by President Clinton to influence his attitude during budget negotiations.

Lawmakers paraded around with blowups of the New York Daily News' front page, which featured a caricature of Gingrich as a wailing baby in diapers with the headline "Cry-Baby."

Republicans voted 231-173 to stop Democrats from bringing the blowups into the chamber. They said it was against House rules to call the speaker a "cry-baby," and said Democrats were just trying to divert attention from Clinton's inability to balance the budget.

Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Colorado, held up a mock Oscar, and said she awarded it to Gingrich for best child actor. "There's only one problem," she said. "This speaker is not a child."

I would KILL to see that happen today. Call the repugs to task for their tactics. Start bringing crosses into Congress so the pukes can nail themselves to them whenever they can't force issues down our throats.

I wanna see some large hairy swinging BALLS. Right now it seems Boxer has the biggest pair. I say we award her with a golden wheelbarrow to cart them around in.

*EDIT*

IDEA !!!!!! I say we institute a "Wheelbarrow of the Week" award given to the Dem who shows the biggest balls. It will carry over in instances of non-aggressive behavior.
