Dear Sen Feinstein:

Today the US Senate's Democratic Caucus vote on Sen Lieberman's Chairmanship provided yet another example of why the US Congress is held in such low regard by the American people.  The eviscerated empty shell we see today has lost any significance as a viable democratic institution and has become something very much like the Board of Supervisors here in San Francisco

Perhaps you recall.

In 1996 Willie Brown called his Board of Supervisors a "collection of pantywaists" and proceeded


    "I'm telling you, I can produce six votes on that board any day of the week. For anything. . . . But I have to do it when I think it's wise to do it.

"I have to do it when I can do it a second time. This is not a gas station in the desert. This is not Dick Morris dealing with a $200 hooker. These are long-term relationships. These are mistresses that you have to service."

The US Senate..high priced mistress by any other name

I have today removed my name from the DSCC mailing list and will do the same when Reid sends me one of his "Give Em Hell Harry" missives...if I can stop laughing long enough
