2. Professional courtesy. Though maybe some were applauding him leaving?

We turn these guys into cartoon heroes and villains, but they are all co-workers, and while they can passionately hate each other's politics, they tend to get along. I'm sure you've had friends wind up in jail, and while you don't usually support what they did, you still offer support for what they are going through. Well, at least that's been my experience.

4. I guess that's a hopeful way of looking at it

:shrug:

5. Just realistic.

Not saying we shouldn't scorn him, just explaining why his colleagues will see him as a person and a friend in ways we don't. And shouldn't.

12. speaking ''for the last time' is enough to send me jumping to my feet! BYE BYE!!

[ecstatic]

3. gross. I hope no dems were applauding

Sheesh... it must be nice being a good old boy.

[Xipe Totec]

6. Stevens leaving the senate? I would applaud that too!

Goodbye, Stevens!

:applause:


Yay!

:party:

[Hope And Change]

7. He said that he had been chairman of the ethics committee?!?!

[L. Coyote]

17. Hindsight tells us a great deal -- a good old boy network has worked for 40 years

Better that he leave with the benefits of the People knowing
how corrupt the Republican past has been at the most senior levels non-stop since Nixon,
better that than never knowing any facts of his corruption.

How much don't we know about (yet)?

[iamthebandfanman]

8. the corrupted saluting the corrupted.

good stuff.

[Bobbieo]

9. Remember, he was a long time member of the most Exclusive Club in the world

[Libertas1776]

10. Seeyah!!!!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out you crazy old coot. :nopity: :hi: :rofl: :popcorn: :patriot:

[Phred42]

11. SO tell me again how Obama is going to make changes to THIS!?

:shrug:

[olegramps]

13. What do you expect?

99 slim bags applauding Super Slim Bag. I hope that the judge throws the bastard in jail. He probably won't because 99% of them are in the same category. To think that these bastards are going to get lucrative pensions and heath insurance that we have to pay for make me want to throw-up.

14. Ugh! Not since the Atlanta Braves fans rising for John Rocker back in 2000

Have I ever seen such a waste of energy for an undeserving douchebag! :puke:

[onethatcares]

15. ain't watching a convicted felon get anything but cuffs.

this is what is wrong with our representative republic model. A standing ovation for a criminal. :banghead: (can we get a one finger salute smiley?)

[MiniMe]

16. A standing orgasm? I would think that Larry Craig would be the likely one for that

:hide:
