Line of The Week (So Far) in Senate

[Bob Geiger]

On the Senator floor yesterday, while ridiculing claims from his Republican colleagues about how much work they've done legislatively this year, Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) borrowed from Harry Truman and gave this description of the accomplishments of the do-nothing, GOP Congress:

"As thin as the homeopathic soup made by boiling a shadow of a pigeon that had been starved to death."

Ha!

2. Byron Dorgan makes me proud to be from ND.

I also heard him call the estate tax "the Paris Hilton" tax. He seems to have a pretty good feel for expressing himself in terms that we common folk understand at a gut level.
