Russ Feingold Vows to Censure the Chimp

Senator Russ Feingold from the great Cheesehead state of Wisconsin, and obviously the only member of the Senate with functioning glands that produce testosterone, had some very pointed things to say about Chimpy McFlightsuit over the weekend. Read on.

Feingold announced over the weekend that he will “introduce two censure resolutions condemning the President, Vice President and other administration officials for misconduct relating to the war in Iraq and for their repeated assaults on the rule of law.” In March 2006, Feingold introduced a censure resolution against Bush over the NSA wiretapping program. In a statement released on Sunday, Feingold said:

At my town hall meetings, online, and everywhere I go, I hear the American people demanding that the President and his administration be held accountable for their misconduct, both with regard to the disastrous war in Iraq and their flagrant abuse of the rule of law. Censure is a relatively modest response, but one that puts Congress on record condemning their actions, both for the American people today and for future generations.

Also on Sunday Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader and, as far as science is concerned, the only vertebrate who lacks a spine, had the following conversation with Bob Scheiffer on CBS' Face the Nation

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said the Senate should keep its focus on other priorities:

REID: I’m sure Russ Feingold will try to find a way to offer that amendment. The Republicans won’t let us vote on it. They’ll block it.

SCHIEFFER: So would you go along with it if they let you vote on it?

REID: Bob, frankly, we have so many other things to do. The president already has the mark of the American people that he’s the worst president we’ve ever had, and I don’t think we need a censure resolution in the Senate to prove that. We have to do…

SCHIEFFER: So you’re not going along with it?

REID: Well, at this stage, Russ is going to have to make his case as to why we should do that rather than do our appropriation bills, finish the defense authorization bill, Homeland Security appropriation bill.

SCHIEFFER: OK.

REID: We have a lot of work to do.


Why these chickenshit bastards are so afraid to take on a "president" with a nationwwide approval rating of 26 percent is clearly beyond me. Its mind boggling. Bush's approval is in the range of Tricky Dick's when Tricky had the good sense to resign before being impeached. Bush is no different, yet the pussies who lead my party in the House and Senate will not take on Bush. No wonder the Democrats are viewed as weak on every thing. They are.
