Poor babies.. they have worked for 24 days in a row..

[SoCalDem]

:cry:..

They are damned lucky that 95% of the people are paying little or no attention to their efforts..

And what's with all the premature congratulations.. How odd indeed..

Imagine if Indy Racers stopped every few laps to pat themselves on the back for completing those laps, and for being ahead?

of if a doctor left surgery every half hour to run to a microphone (leaving the patient on the table) to announce to everyone that he was so proud of himself for making it through 30 grueling minutes of surgery..

Just do your F'ing jobs, and let OTHERS congratulate you if it turns out well..

Right now there IS NO BILL...there is nothing to congratulate yourselves for.

1. They did their job in spite of the asshole GOP obstructionists

Congrats Dems, you did good!

[SoCalDem]

2. and watch a few assholes sink it later when the house

refuses to budge..
:grr:

3. They're not used to working more than 2 1/2 days a week

and getting paid $165,200 a year for it, plus perks.

I don't want to hear the nonsense about them having to have two homes, either. Many of them have more than two homes anyway being millionaires.

[SoCalDem]

4. They sure won't get much sympathy from people with 2 or 3 jobs

working 16-7...all to bring home 30% less than they did in 1988, while costs have risen 130%..

5. Agreed, but

I am still happy.

[Lugnut]

6. The poor dears.

:nopity:

7. I feel sorry for Senator Byrd - rolling him in there at those weird hours

could have killed him....which is what the other side was praying for...literally.

[SoCalDem]

8. That's true, but seriously, I wish he had retired

It'd very scary to have someone that old and infirm, as the 60th vote..and heaven help us if a republican governor slips in there..Manchin's term expires in '12
