"Calling Out" Specific Women To Get Game

Christine O'Donnell and Sharon Angel got the "John McCain" tongue-lashing from the Senate "Well" and it's game on as I see it.  Barbara Boxer, who was lucky to hold her seat, as was Harry Reed, and there's no telling what that pair had to do to defeat their challengers, has nothing but contempt for the Tea Party and on this matter, she and McCain agree. 

Do they passionately believe their complaints?  Absolutely.  And, as Olivia DuKakis said in Moonstruck, "That's too bad."  Sure, the Senate will drag the Tea Party through the mud with their "Hobbitt" references and salt in the wounds of defeated Tea Party candidates, but it would be wise for them to be recalling that Ted Kennedy's seat went to a Tea Party Triumph in Scott Brown who votes Democrat but caucuses Republican.  Brown has six years to please the voters.  Congressmen and Women have two. 

It has become a fight between the Senate Leadership and the Tea Party, and I'm predicting the Tea Triumph will ought.  Those up with Obama for re-election in 2012 are facing the door.  The hooligans of Boston Harbor have a party in progress and anybody who's anybody is Angling for an invite.  It's their funeral.  The voters of Delaware elected Joe Biden often enough without questioning his qualifications, that he passed himself off as a Foreign Policy expert with the chops to induce Obama to select him as Vice President.  Knowing what we know about Obama's insecurities and ego, it says much about the Delaware Voter and the jobs that drive their ballot preferences.  Bank of America rules, I guess.  The very entity that makes these people rabid, the irresponsible management of treasure, is what the Tea Party is surgically removing from the table.  No longer is the "kick the can down the road" option available to the budget busters seeking ONE MORE FIX to get to the next re-election.  I have to hand it to the girls:  they really pissed the guys off.

and, I gotta ask:  Who the hell writes Chuck Schummer's statements for the Democratic Caucus's press conferences?  Clearly the Senator doesn't feel, understand or recognize what he's reading.  He never reads them with the calibre of sentiment they were written to convey.  Which tells me that he's a lot like Dave Mariotti, former County Chair of the Butler Democrats... and I felt the same disgust with Mariotti's insipid reading of candidates' comments in their behalf at dinners as I feel when Schummer positively butchers the well-written but mark-missing pieces he's handed as a read on the daily senate wrap.  Are they taking care of the People's Business?  Certainly not.  The statements are written cover.  All well and good.  But in providing Schummer with the platform and the "script," the Caucus is getting as poor a performance from its spokesperson as the constituents he represents.
