Michelle reports that these ten GOP senators are close to cutting a deal with George Bush and Harry Reid on the Amnesty and Permanent Democrat Majority Bill of 2007:

* Alexander (R-TN)
* Cochran (R-MS)
* Coleman (R-MN)
* Collins (R-ME)
* Cornyn (R-TX)
* Craig (R-ID)
* Domenici (R-NM)
* McConnell (R-KY)
* Smith (R-OR)
* Warner (R-VA)

At last vote, the bill was 15 votes short of cloture. If even a majority of these guys hold rank, the bill can't move out of the Senate without their support. In other words, they don't have to do anything to prevent this bill from passing.

According to news reports, the deal is that they'll make a "Gang of 14"-style mutual pact against any filibuster if Reid will agree to allow them the privilege of discussing a few more amendments before the final vote

This is madness--but not the "This is SPARTA!!!" type of madness. This is more of the "please tie me up and anally rape me with a frozen burrito" type of madness. Hey, if that's what the senators like doing in their spare time, they can knock themselves out (literally), but when they insist on doing it to the ENTIRE DAMN COUNTRY, we have a serious fucking problem.

Was the much-lauded "defeat" of the bill just a ruse to get their phones to stop ringing for a couple days?

What part of "KISS YOUR RE-ELECTION GOODBYE" do these guys have trouble comprehending???
