Desperate to accomplish something before Toto pulled the curtain back and exposed him, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Sourpuss) finally scored a victory. The Dems are angry that President Bush has used recess appointments to circumvent their chronic obstructionism. Most of their pique has to do with the fact that recess appointments illustrate that it's easier to move the country forward when the senators are home getting spa treatments. One could almost make the case for an amendment requiring them to be on vacation all year. I'm sure they'd get used to an extra three weeks off.
It's important to note that, with the Senate floor all to themselves (himself, actually, since Jim Webb (D-Boorish) was the only senator there), the Democrats skipped the prayer and the Pledge.
No prayer, no Pledge of Allegiance, no chance for anyone to speak up against them...that's like a trip to Disneyland for this Democratic majority.
