Jack Reed (D-RI) bemoaning the recruitment and equipment problems
in the military now in the Senate. Well, gee, Jack, do you suppose that if a whole bunch of you hadn't been willing to jump on *'s war wagon and hand him the war powers, we wouldn't be in this fine pickle now? I tell you I'm disgusted and crabby today. This guy is getting on my last nerve.

What a relief--interrupted by Warner to fan support for his Scouting support legislation. Goody, now we get to hear about how patriotic the Benedict Arnold Party really are.


Gaaaack!!!

To be fair, Reed wasn't one of them

Edit: I wasn't really in to US politics at the time of the vote, so I didn't know about a few things. Chafee voted against it? And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I spy 5 names who aren't in the Senate anymore
