C-Span: Repubs killing me softly with their stupidity....

[vaberella]

Does anyone know how long I have to listen to this?

[democrat_patriot]

1. 20 hours.

:>)

Is there anybody there listening? Dems?

Doubt it.

They just have to walk in and vote no on every 'amendment' and than they can vote on the fixes. Right?

2. Baucus is our response? Ugh.

But...he's actually making good points....he just sounds drunk.

[SpartanDem]

3. he always sounds drunk

[vaberella]

5. Doesn't he? Or doped up. n/t

7. I love Gail Collins' comment about Baucus

Right after the Senate passed their bill back in December (and it looked like all was just about wrapped up), Gail Collins wrote about the extended nature of the debate:

People, when did it become necessary for average, conscientious-but-not-fanatic citizens to know the names of so many senators? There was probably a time when you thought “Max Baucus” was a brand of sausage. And now we not only know that he is the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and from Montana, we are also up to the minute on his divorce and his “mature and happy” relationship with his live-in girlfriend.

9. I think he sounds like Dick Van Dyke as Rob Petree in his old 60s TV show

Instinctively, I then listen for Mary Tyler More to wail "OH ROB!" in the background.

4. Can't we get Bernie Sanders, Al Franken, or Sherrod Brown for the response?

I could listen to each of them talk all day!

:D

[vaberella]

6. I can't do Baucus...I'd take Sanders or Franken all day---Brown is nice.

8. I prayed that they would finish

But they just kept right on
Plucking my nerves with their voices
Showing they're crazy with words
Killing me softly with stupid
Killing me softly with stupid
