Update - Week of September 25th

[spatne]

As an cognizant outsider, it seems to me that Frist has been steadily leaking mojo from the moment he took over for Lott.

Frist has won most of his battles with Reid (due in large part to the obvious advantages that come with majority status), but still somehow comes off as a bumbler and a goat. If he's really getting static with 5 days to go and a ton of [censored] to do, that seems like a major indictment of his status and leadership ablilities. Failing to pass critical election-year legislation because he couldn't work with his own party would make Frist the lamest of the lame ducks.

I think that, thankfully, we will have pretty much heard the last of Frist when his Senate term soon expires. There is no way in hell that this far right wing lunatic will ever get the Republican presidential nomination, much less be elected president. Stick a fork in him; he's done.

However, this does not mean that we can rest easy. Unfortunately, there are other idiots in Congress who also believe that they should be legislating morality, so we will probably always have the threat of an online poker ban hanging over our heads.

Don't be so comfortably Nrogish in your certainty. Not even this matter is yet resolved, let alone the 2006 Republican nomination.

Motion to make "nrogish" an officially recognized adjective in the Legislation Forum, meaning all things premature and sensationalist. Do I hear a second?

[BluffTHIS!]

Seconded!

I move to table the motion by Mr K due to its inflamatory, though humorous, nature.

2+2 RECORD, LEGISLATIVE DAY OF 27 SEPTEMBER 2006

Mr. K: I oppose the motion and request a recorded vote.

Mr. Sklansky (the PRESIDING OFFICER): The motion by the gentleman from DC, Mr. Berge20, is not debatable. The question now occurs on the motion to table. Members will cast their votes by electronic device. This will be a 15 minute roll call vote.

(forum participants should now feel free to post "aye" or "nay" for the next 15 minutes to decide whether my motion should be tabled (killed), as suggested by Mr. Berge20.)

[coachkf]

Nay.

[Berge20]

Aye

This is such a disaster for this post by the way. Talk about getting off topic!

[Mr.K]

Nay.

Sorry Berge. I promise I won't do it again. Only a few minutes left and this will all be over.
