Senate GOP in big funk
By JOHN BRESNAHAN & AMIE PARNES | 11/20/08 4:35 AM EST



Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala) said that Republicans were “still a bit stunned” that they lost so many Senate seats.

A day after losing Ted Stevens’ seat, along with their best hope for getting Joe Lieberman to cross over, Senate GOP leaders preached party unity as the key to surviving the Obama years.

If that doesn’t work, there’s always psychotherapy.

Down to 42 seats with two still at risk, Senate Republicans are in a deep funk. Some are in denial. Some want a return to conservative principles. Some want to cut deals. Some want more filibusters.

Others want to jump out a window — but they’re afraid they’d screw that up, too.

:rofl:

1. Maybe we should put together a montage of all the wins and send it

to the GOP with a Brother Johnson's song playing in the background:

GET THE FUNK OUT MA FACE
Brothers Johnson

Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face

You don't like my music
You don't have to use it
Funkin' is a thing that all of us release
You don't have to get it
All you do is let it
Then you'll know exactly how to groove

You don't like my music
You don't have to use it
Funkin' is a thing that all of us release

You don't have to play it
You don't have to say it
You don't even have to try to sing it

Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face

You don't like my music
You don't have to use it
Funkin' is a thing that all of us release

You don't have to get it
All you do is let it
Then tell us our funk did you some good

2. Winston Churchill put it nicely

Sometimes when you commit political suicide you live to regret it.

6. A bit stunned? Are they going to vote to extend unemployment insurance?

Have they got a clue yet?

[gratuitous]

7. Why would they be "stunned" at all?

You can't tell me that they believed their own bullshit? Could they be even stupider than everyone thinks? Or are they too focused on Fox News to notice that their message of "fear-everything-all-the-time-and-give-us-more-money" has finally worn out its welcome?

9. I, too am stunned

Stunned that any of them won reelection.

But when you look at the voting systems used in the reelected's areas, an explanation as to why they are still hanging on becomes all too evident.
