Damn you Mississippi

Senate Republicans

In the last week alone, two Republican senators who helped negotiate the comprehensive compromise — Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss, both of Georgia — announced that they would oppose Tuesday’s cloture motion. A third, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), followed suit. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) supported the immigration bill last year, but says he’s undecided this time.

It's tough reading the tea leaves on this one, but in that snippet form the Politico column Senate immigration bill is back, I see a glimmer of hope.  Last week Mitch McConnell was hard soldered onto my ratbastard-MFCS circuit board. I was disappointed because I had hoped McConnell would become the first Republican Majority Leader in my lifetime who wasn't a vacillating douchbag. If  McConnell breaks with Whip Trent Lott, I believe it's all over. I hope.  If McConnell shoots Trent Lott in the forehead with a derringer, drinks are on me anyway.

Go Rodger! Trent Lott is such a panty waist. Such a huge disappointment.

I may be a fool, but Mitch has all my trust. I've only been following his career for the past twenty years. If he's non-commital, he's just not playing his hand out of turn.
