I know- he’s ever then genteel statesman, seeking the "compromise" so we can "govern" and all that crapola. I cannot wait until Judd Gregg "serves" his last day in Washington…
This just in from Leslie Carbone via the email, under the subject heading Sotomayer confirmed:
Empathetic Republicans:
Alexander; Bond; Collins; Graham; Gregg; Lugar; Martinez; Snowe; Voinovich
Thanks for nothing, Senator Gregg! How many times do the Dems need to stick it to us before you’ll ever learn? You make Charlie Brown holding the proverbial football for Lucy look smart… Obama would have gotten his pick no matter what. A protest vote would have at least sent a strong symbolic message, one to be used down the road as we point to this poor choice for the nation’s highest court. Now, when she works to strip away more freedom and liberty, we can blame you, too!
Ladies and gentleman– With go-along to get-along Judd finally exiting stage left, why don’t we use the opportunity for an upgrade? Does anyone think Judd Gregg’s hand-picked successor, already known to have been courted by the likes of several on the above list, is going to make a damn bit of difference down in Washington?
America is on the brink. With the likes of Judd Gregg and the prospective replacement Ayotte on the case, who needs Democrats? Or, looked at the other way, with Republicans like Gregg/Atyotte, why bother when you can get the real deal by electing Paul Hodes?
