Senator/douchebag/loser Bill Frist relaxes after Senate deal.
Well, my modem at home fizzled out again. Sprint is supposed to send me a new one by Wednesday.
Compromise reached in filibuster fight
Priscilla Owen, Janice Rogers Brown and William Pryor will come up for votes, two others will remain subject to filibuster. And though I can't see why that's much of a victory - did these three turn liberal overnight? - it's pleasant to see the rightwingnuts going ballistic with rage.
Pleasant? I'm laughing my ass off.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said the agreement sent President Stupid, 'Vice' President Cheney and the "radical arm of the Republican base" the "undeniable" message that "abuse of power will not be tolerated."
Harry Reid: There is good news for every American in this agreement. The so-called 'nuclear option' is off the table. This is a significant victory for our country, for democracy, and for all Americans. Checks and balances in our government have been preserved. I offered Senator Frist several options similar to this compromise, and while he was not able to agree, I am pleased that some responsible Republicans and my colleagues were able to put aside there differences and work from the center.
Robert Byrd: We have lifted ourselves above politics, and we have signed this document in the interests of the United States Senate, in the interest of freedom of speech, freedom of debate and freedom to dissent in the United States Senate.
Steve Gillard: This is a major defeat for the theocrats. This is what happens when amateurs play at politics. Dobson was under the delusion that he could control the Senate with his money and Bill Frist's dick in his pocket.
Kos poster: It’s not a good day to be Bill Frist. He looks weak, unable to control his own caucus. His winger friends go ballistic. They get some judges, sure, but ultimately, we can filibuster Bush’s next Supreme Court nominee unless he picks a moderate. The Dobson power grab may have failed a day early.
Tom Watson: Tonite, the freepers lost - big-time. And they know it. To their credit, there's no sugar-coating on FreeRepublic tonight. The pols they despise even more than Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, the moderate Republicans, are the big winners. It galls to freepers to recognize that the likes of John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Susan Collins, John Warner, and Olympia Snowe cleaned their clock.
Poster at AmericaBlog: GOP Senators actually stood up to the theocrats. The little puppet doctor, Bill Frist, looks hapless. He wanted to end judicial filibusters. That did not happen. Frist does not control the Senate.
Mahablog: "It's amazing what can happen in a few hours when you aren't watching the news. I see that Bill Frist planned a pajama party for all his Senate buddies. But now that there may be a deal to compromise on the filibuster, does this mean poor Bill will be have to watch all those rented zombie videos by himself?"
Russ Feingold: This is not a good deal for the Senate or for the American people. Democrats should have stood together firmly against the bullying tactics of the Republican leadership abusing their power... Confirming unacceptable judicial nominations is simply a green light for the Bush administration to send more nominees who lack the judicial temperament or record to serve in these lifetime positions.
The right goes 'nuclear':
A furious James Dobson: This Senate agreement represents a complete bailout and betrayal by a cabal of Republicans and a great victory for united Democrats.
Pat Buchanan: John McCain and the seven republicans committed a "Munich" on the Smirking Moron, Bill Frist, and "the rest of the Republican Senate."
ConfirmThem: This deal is a load of cr@p! It is not compromise, but capitulation.
PowerLine: What a hideous deal!
Conservative Outpost: GOP grabs the ankles.
Michelle Malkin: The GOP parade of pusillanimity marches on. With this pathetic cave-in, the Republicans have sealed their fate as a Majority in Name Only.
G-puke Nation: This is a dark day for the Republican party.
Poster at the Bat: You dishonorable senators have betrayed my President. I despise what you have done and am pledging my utmost to get you out of MY GOVERNMENT.
Joe Scarborough: a "win for the Democrats and a loss for George W. Bush."
"Explod[ing] in disgust" - typically, the troglodytes at Mouthbreather Central are throwing temper tantrums because they didn't get every single thing they wanted:
RimJob fretard: First [sic] & his merry band of political eunuchs caved...
RimJob fretard 2: Listening to Bill Bennett's show this morning, I heard a lot of callers echo the same sentiment that I feel - "not one dime to the RNC". I think this is a valid reaction to the current duplicity by the RINOs in the Senate
RimJob fretard 3: No-Nutz Frist has had his last hoorah.
RimJob fretard 4: Frist just lost the RNC nomination. He's the fool who dragged this out until the f***ing RINOs got their posies arranged all pretty.
RimJob fretard 5: We lose, they win. It's the history of the Republican party. I am so angry ... furious, livid, outraged. GAWD DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM these pukes. GAWD DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM them.
RimJob fretard 6: Anyone who thinks this is a Republican victory thinks that Japan and Hitler Won World War II. The truth is the Republicans have suffered the biggest legislative defeat in my life time.
RimJob fretard 7: The GOP is now dead to me. Bill Frist....ah why even bother..
RimJob fretard 8: What the HELL is this???????? We don't need a deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am furious. I will NOT SEND ANY MORE MONEY TO THE REPUBS. We didn't NEED a deal and we don't WANT a deal!!!
RimJob fretard 9: I can hear the toilets flushing across the land as the traitors get what is coming to them.
RimJob fretard 10: NOT ONE BIT OF BACKBONE OR LEADERSHIP. THEY ARE SO AFRAID OF THE MAINSTREEM [sic] MEDIA AND HOW THEY WILL BE PORTRAYED THEY WILL DO ANYTHING, EVEN SELL-OUT WHAT THEY SAY THEY BELIEVE IN. THEY ARE PIECES OF GARBAGE
RimJob fretard 11: THEY CAN ALL GO TO HELL!
Mwwwwwwaaaaaaa! LOL
