We learn that

1) Joe Lieberman loves bipartisanship. He really loves it. I am guessing if there were a bipartisan consensus to say, force his good pal Bill Kristol grab a gun and stand post in Iraq, Lieberman would vote for it (or perhaps, if there were a disclosure order to force him to tell us the retirement plan Karl Rove offered him to re-elect him last year with GOP money).

2) Jim Inhofe, who has singlehandedly proven that the theory of Intelligent Design cannot be accurate, explains the phraseology of Okahoma.

3) John Thune (R-Wimp) is scared of Jim Webb.

4) Diane Feinstein rightfully thinks the Republicans must be "smoking something." Hint: It starts with "c" and ends with "rack."

5) Bob Menendez tell President Bush to "re-read" the Constitution. We appreciate it Senator, but surely you must know he hasn't read anything longer than a candy bar wrapper in his entire life.

Mitch McConnell And His Republican Pals Hurt Our Troops; Harry Reid Asks Them To Stop And Renconsider, While Dick Durbin Calls Him Out On His Lying

Senator Mitch McConnell
Republican Leader
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator McConnell:

There are no more solemn decisions facing members of Congress than the conduct of war and the placing of our troops in harm's way. As you know, more than 3,600 brave Americans have lost their lives and more than $400 billion has been expended on the war in Iraq, which has now moved into its fifth year with no end in sight. Yet Senate Republicans have chosen to prevent honest debate and action on legislation to provide an Iraq strategy that would allow us to responsibly redeploy our troops and refocus our attention on the very real threat posed by Al Qaeda. This is partisan obstruction that I fear will make us less, not more, secure and I urge you to reconsider your course.

Today's headlines confirm the importance of allowing the Senate to consider amendments to change course in Iraq and refocus our resources so we can more effectively wage the war on terror. These news reports indicate the violence in northern Iraq has escalated at the same time the Director of National Intelligence released a new assessment that al Qaeda has "regenerated key elements of its Homeland attack capability." As long as our troops are mired in policing an Iraqi civil war, they cannot focus on the enemy that attacked this nation nearly six years ago; an enemy that has regrettably regenerated its attack capacity since 9/11.
