(ED. NOTE:  I had pre-written the top half of this post prior to hearing the news on the Fox website.  The update explains it all.  -LSI)
Newsflash:  Bill Frist says he has the votes to deploy the “constitutional option” concerning the illegal Demoscummic filibustering of judicial nominees.
Newsflash:  Bill Frist said back in February that he had the votes to deploy the “constitutional option” concerning the illegal Demoscummic filibustering of judicial nominees.
Newsflash:  Bill Frist said back in April that he had the votes to deploy the “constitutional option” concerning the illegal Demoscummic filibustering of judicial nominees.
D’ya kinda notice a trend developing here?
For Cthulu’s Sake™, Dr. Linguinispine, would you shut up about threatening to do it AND JUST DO IT???????  HELLO???  MCFLY?????
Sheesh.
UPDATE:  Frist, you son-of-a-bitch – now do you see what happens when you drag your backwoods hillbilly ass?
That fucking Limp-Wristed Lisping Licksprite™, John McCain (RINO-AZ), has just managed to buttfuck 6 of his fellow RINOs into scuttling the constitutional option that you had said  you had the votes for all along, you stupid bastard!
Centrists from both parties reached a compromise Monday night to avoid a showdown on President Bush’s stalled judicial nominees and the Senate’s own filibuster rules, officials from both parties said.
Congratulations on your abject spinelessness, you asshole excuses-for-Republicans.  You pisspots have just traded in one confrontation with the anti-Constitution Demoscum for one with your constituents come next election cycle.  Let’s hope you’re as proud of selling this country down the river after the right-thinking voters of the sorry-assed states you represent run your asses out of town on a collective rail.
These officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity
Oh, you’re damned right  they don’t want to reveal their names, the fucking cowards.  I’m surprised they didn’t wait until midnight to do this, just like those pay hikes they gave themselves back in the 80s and 90s.
said the agreement would clear the way for yes-or-no votes on some of Bush’s nominees but make no guarantee.
Translation:  They’re gonna put Janice Rogers Brown back on the fuckin’ plantation, where she’s gonna pick her cotton and keep her mouth shut, just like a good darkie.
Under the agreement, Democrats would pledge not to filibuster any of Bush’s future appeals court or Supreme Court (search) nominees except in “extraordinary circumstances.”
Which they get to define for themselves, just like Doe v. Bolton  served to offer up asinine definitions of “health” for the baby-butchering mother so she could kill her child at any time right up until the moment of birth (and now past that, in some cases).
For their part, Republicans agreed not to support an attempt to strip Democrats of their right to block votes.
They caved.  THEY MOTHERFUCKING @@@-DAMNED CAVED, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!!!!!  They bent over and grabbed the ankles once more for old times’ sake and took it right up the friggin’ ass  from the Socialist Senate Shits™ on the Left.
Damn them.  Damn them all to Hell™.  Starting with that fucking bastard, Hill-Billy Frist, the asswipe…
Update the 2nd:  It looks like Janice Rogers Brown is part of this unholy package deal – not that that makes it any more palatable.
Also, some of the other RINO are starting to show their ugly asses.  Lindsay Graham (RINO-S.C.) is positively exuberant about it.
“The Senate is back in business,” exulted Sen. Lindsey Graham (search ), R-S.C., reflecting the view that a showdown would have would have had a long-term detrimental impact on Congress’ ability to conduct the nation’s business.
Enjoy it while it lasts, Graham, you asshat.  We’re gonna remember come election time.

The RINO’s Drop Trou’ & Take It Up The @ss…. Again
We direct your attention over to Lord Spatula’s place for his Clue Clubbing
“republicans”(in name only) cave to the minority
John McCain,R(hino)-Az. has just convinced 6 of his fellow R(hinos) to bend over and take it from the DemoncRat minority. Only McCain and Lindsey Graham had the guts to openly display their cowardice, but to you five others, you WILL…
RINO’s need to be surgically removed
Republicans in Name Only. RINO. That’s what these people are. They like the money they get from the party, and like to be in the majority party, but if you examine their voting records and what spews from their mouths, they’re really DemoncRats.

The Evils of Phil A. Buster, Part Three
Harry Reid said, “Checks and balances have been protected. The integrity of the Supreme Court has been protected from the undue influence of the vocal, radical right wing.” OK, so who’s watching for the undue influence of the loony left-wing limousine-…
McCain truly is the Counterfeit Hero. The Manchurian Candidate.
