Great moments in television II
One of our favorite cranks, Jack Cafferty, reads his mail -
CAFFERTY: Eleven senators, 10 percent of that august body, all considering running for president in 2008, that's a comfort. They have done such a great job in the Senate.
The question is: Is the 2008 White House race distracting the Senate from getting its business done?
Richard in Panama City: "Welcome back, Jack. Maybe the week off cooked your brain. You ask that question like they would get anything done anyway."
Rowland in Austin, Texas: "Are senators distracted? Let's see. During the past five years, they gave away their right to declare war, gave Bush absolutely everything he wanted -- My, hasn't that turned to be a good idea? -- run up a $9 trillion bar tab. They have had emergency sessions not for the war or the deficit or to demand that the 9/11 Commission report be followed through on. No, those did not warrant late-night hours, but Terri Schiavo did."
Ken in Vallejo, California: "If nothing is being done, how can there be a distraction? Wasted time debating gay marriage and flag burning, when our borders are being overrun and over 2,500 of our kids killed in a war of lies."
Steve in Jericho, New York: "The Senate is the home of the gang that couldn't shoot straight, so anything that distracts these posturing, clueless clowns from doing their normal business can only be a benefit to the American people."
(LAUGHTER)
CAFFERTY: Some of you are in a foul mood.
Linda in Lynchburg, Virginia: "They might just as well run for president. They aren't doing anything else. I got an e-mail from a friend about a database, found my name on it. I called George Allen's office, my senator, to try to find out what I could do or what my options were. I got a recording that said the office would be closed all week. I'm going to vote for my cat. At least I know where to find her."
