More Testicularitus
We awakened yesterday with new hope for Senate Republicans. We saw some progress in the filibuster wars, with Republican leadership at last starting to verbalize what everyone in the base was wanting to hear. But alas it was short lived as is evidenced by the postponement of nomination hearings for John Bolton as ambassador to the UN.
The United Nations has become so corrupt, scandal ridden, beneath comtempt, and irrelevant in recent years, it will take a tough minded individual as ambassador to help straighten it out. John Bolton is just such a person. Power Line has the details in their article entitled, Senate Slanderfest to Continue. Here is a portion:
“ANOTHER UPDATE: Rich Lowry got an email from a “well-informed source”:
A few tidbits…
1. The Senate went into a special recess so Bolton could be voted out. Voinovich knew this. He was on board. If he had a problem, he could have told Leadership before we went into a special recess.
2. Voinovich’s reason for not voting for Bolton today? “I haven’t been to the hearings and haven’t heard all these allegations until now.” Embarrassing.
3. Lugar could have solved this problem easily — he could have asked Voinovich to abstain if he didn’t feel prepared to vote. He could have told him that he was embarrasing him (Lugar) and all Republicans for blindsiding him. He could have recessed for 5 minutes so Republicans could have talked to him.
4. Lugar postponed for *three weeks.* He could have called another meeting tomorrow morning and given people time to get to Voinovich.
5. Chafee — does anybody think he’ll stick, now that Voinovich is giving him cover?”
There seems to be a relapse of Testicularitus. This is what we wrote concerning this infection previously:
“What is “Testicularitus”? It is a symptom of a particular malady that is most often found among Senate Republicans. The malady of course is testicular fortitude, or lack thereof, in this particular case. We have heard, via Rush Limbaugh, and we have read, via several articles during the last week, that Senate Republicans are again losing their testicular fortitude, thereby bringing on the symptoms of “Testicularitus”. The symptom is best described as being unwilling to take a stand no matter how justified or right the stand might be.
Lack of testicular fortitude and “Testicularitus” are brought about whenever Senate Republicans have to face any decision which might actually take courage.”
This might account for their sudden lack of a spine. You see all these internal organs are interconnected. If your spine has gone soft, it is more than likely caused by your infection of Testicularitus.
Please communicate with your Senator today, and let’s help relieve some of this pain and suffering. The Senate office phone number is, 202-225-3121.
