Week at a Glance
By kcwolf
It has been quite a week for the right this week. Republican senators spent alot of time trashing Thurgood Marshall in hearings for the latest Supreme Court nominee. It?s not often a saint gets attacked in the chambers of the United States Senate. Last year the Episcopal Church sainted Justice Marshall. Marshall?s wife was in attendance at the hearings. Since Elena Kagan has yet to be confirmed, opponents still have time to trash Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Gandi or others.
House Republican leader Boehner noted our economic problems aren?t much of a concern as there was no need for a nuclear strategy against ants. An ant like myself disagrees. Boehner also did not deny drinking daily or using tanning beds regularly to cover up yellowing of the face from cirrhosis of the liver.
Senator Jeff Sessions congratulated Lily Ledbetter in the justice hearings this week. Obama?s first bill signed into law was named after Ledbetter, a strong Alabama advocate for ensuring women are not discriminated against on the job. It?s ironic Sessions would laud Ledbetter?s efforts, considering he was one of 23 senators who voted against the bill.
Governor Haley Barbour said BP had the most to lose with the oil disaster. Of course there is a long list of gaffes by now, but I hope he meets face to face with the families of the 11 killed. I also wonder how oyster fishermen feel, waiting for compensation while BP picks up the $15,000 fireworks tab in Colorado?
RNC Chairman Michael Steele became a war protestor this week. Several republican leaders have called for his resignation.
Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas wants to change the 14th amendment after a conversation with a total stranger on an airplane.
Senator Scott Brown had this to say about Iranian sanctions this week: ?President Obama keeps saying we?re going to have sanctions! If you guys don?t do this by this date, you are in trouble! Ok, the date comes and we don?t do anything. So he needs to stick to his guns and make sure he follows through and that?s not happening.? Earlier that day, Obama leveled his 4th round of sanctions hitting the energy sector, cutting off financing for the Iranian Republican Guard, and cracking down on federal contractors working in Iran.
A Utah radio station dropped Sean Hannity?s radio show as unethical and uncivil. I guess demanding every Democratic congressman deserves to be tortured and killed didn?t go over real well.
Michele Bachmann said Obama has a super secret plan for a one government world. I?m too tired to list the other things she said.
In closing, Republicans did a great job this week of sticking up for BP while neglecting the small people or should we say ants. Republicans also continued to set a new record this week for filibusters.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy Fourth of July!
