The Republican pit bulls have turned on each other....
.....and you know what happens to wounded dogs after a dogfight? :think:



McConnell calls on Stevens to resign.»

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called last night for Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) to resign his seat in the Senate. The Lexington Herald-Leader reports:

“I think he should resign immediately,” McConnell, Kentucky’s senior senator, told the Herald-Leader Tuesday night after a Hardin County GOP rally. “If he did not do that … there is a 100 percent certainty that he would be expelled from the Senate.” … “The Senate would have zero tolerance for the continued service of a convicted felon,” McConnell said.


In calling for Stevens’s resignation, McConnell joins several other prominent Republican senators including Jim DeMint (SC), Lindsey Graham (SC), John McCain (AZ), Gordon Smith (OR), and Norm Coleman (MN). Other Republican senators, including Pat Roberts (KS) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX), have suggested that “it’s up to Alaskans to decide Stevens’ fate.” Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) also called for Stevens to resign.

1. What I really want to know is if McConnell is wearing lipstick.
It's soooooo fashionable on Republican pit bulls these days, or so I hear LOL. :-)

5. You're right...
Most Republicans have those sphincter lips. Dana Carvey as Church Lady really worked that angle.

2. Are they all running for re-election?
I think they need to get tough because they need votes, and voters might have a hard time voting for someone who supports a convicted felon!

3. No. Only all of the House is running for re-election.
But, yes, the Republicans would LOVE the opportunity to look as if they had the courage and honesty to clean their own house. Ask them if they feel like impeaching George while they're in the mood.
