I want what Susan Collins (R-somewhere) is smokng. -- CNN Report

[Skidmore]

She just said that Katrina response cut *'s "deserved reputation for being competent and compassionate." Normally, I have some respect for her but she is just way off on this one.

1. that's not a joint in Susan's mouth

it's a Bush body part

[Old and In the Way]

13. Actually, her brother got busted for major poundage.

Just before she was elected....maybe she has some of his stash.

Actually, I think Sue is more of a Xanax type...

[WI_DEM]

2. When was or has Bush ever been "competent and compassionate"?

[anniebelle]

3. Yes, I had to hurl on that note!

[MADem]

4. She's from Maine, and likely needs RNC money

What you are seeing is public whoring at the command of Ken Mehlman, probably. Payment will be made when value is received.

[saskatoon]

9. Yep

Just like any other prostitute

[baldguy]

5. Thats like saying "I'm a wonderful driver...."

"Aside from the drunk driving conviction, the five smashed cars and those people I ran down at the bus stop the other day."

[MiniMe]

6. Is that a line from Rainman?

:rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. 0 for 2 on that one, Susan. Been smokin' (sea)weed at Kennebunkport?

[Warpy]

8. Maybe it was sarcasm

Or maybe his wiretaps found her paramour.

It certainly did give him a deserved reputation. It was the end of his post 9/11 popularity. The callous disregard over losing a major city woke a lot of people up to who and what that man is.

[immoderate]

10. Collins is in charge of investigations and oversight.

You're doin' "a hekuva job" Susan. Ranking member: Joe Lieberman.

[BlueManDude]

11. why do you have respect for alleged "moderate" bimbo?

when has she ever stood up to bush?

12. See a buzzflash editorial from last year

The Myth of the Three Northeast Republican Moderates: They're Republicans, Stupid!

http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/05/04/edi05042.html

Lincoln Chafee, Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe like to cultivate the perception that they are Republican "moderates" with their Rhode Island and Maine constituents, reluctantly being pulled along by a right wing jihad. They kind of pretend that they are Quakers kidnapped by the marauding troops of Genghis Khan.

...

Oh, yeah, Chafee, Collins and Snowe, it appears to us from a distance (we have never met any of them), don't seem to be your rabid, psychotic Tom DeLay or Rick Santorum type of Republican. They actually seem like people who might be nice neighbors.

But they made two big mistakes. (more)



It is no good trying to be a "moderate" Republican in today's GOP, according to Buzzflash. (And lots of people, including myself, would agree.) Just by being Republicans, they enable *, Karl Rove, Bill Frist, and the rabid radical Rethugs.
