1. It was a dirty joke.

3. I'm fed up with the "good ole boy" network

With apologies to progressive white men, I can not help but think we would ALL be better off if at least 1/2 of these old white men were sent packing.

6. As a progressive white male I completely agree.

Get these stupid assholes out of our government!

4. "That one over there? He's a progressive."

"Sir, are you a progressive?"

"Why no, Patrick, I'll even show you my 'I hate progressives' membership card!"

"Thanks son, I thought it was a misunderstanding. Now lets get back to the business of screwing the American people. Commitee's in session."

5. One party. n/t

7. Hey! What are you guys up to later?

[Warpy]

8. The body language in that last photo is very telling

Graham is at peace with himself, knowing he did the right thing.

Kyl and Grassley are sitting with their heads in their hands, obviously suffering a few pangs of conscience over selling the country out to make party points.

These men know they're in the wrong. They're just too weak to do anything about it.

Graham seems to be at ease. The others, not so much.

Sen. Leahy: "It's true, dawg! Hey, YOU'RE voting for her, right? Kyl said you're cool."

Sen. Graham: "All right, all right. Up or down vote and all that. You know I'm a man of my word."
