I think it’s real sweet of Republicans to make us a list of the 47 craziest United States Senators.  It saves us the effort.  And as an added benefit, we get to watch them all run backwards with their shoes tied together now.

I have to admit that John McCain’s explanation of “I sign a lot of things,” was the cutest way to minimize doing something dumber than bean dip.

“I saw the letter, I saw that it looked reasonable to me and I signed it, that’s all. I sign lots of letters,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

And when that didn’t fly, he switched to …

John McCain: “It was kind of a very rapid process. Everybody was looking forward to getting out of town because of the snowstorm.”

Yeah, it’s the weather – made us act crazy.

Poor Tom Cotton stands there alone with his pants around his ankles while 46 of his fellow senators now claim they don’t know him.  Well, maybe “poor” wasn’t the right word to use.

According to newly released FEC filings, Cotton received $960,250 in supportive campaign advertising in the last month from the Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI), a right-wing group headed by the neoconservative pundit, Bill Kristol, who infamously predicted that the Iraq war would last two months. At its inception, the ECI was based out of the same Washington office as the Committee of the Liberation of Iraq, a pressure group that lobbied for the 2003 invasion.

Some even suspect that Bill Kristol wrote the danged letter.  I think that’s probably right because only Kristol can be that condescending and boneheaded at the same time.   Cotton owes his senate seat to Kristol with the influx of cash and advertising during the last month of a close race.

But the cherry on top of this heap-o’-crap would be if Netanyahu’s speech to congress costs him the election.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a last-minute media blitz on Thursday to counter what appears to be a rising tide of support for his main opponent in next week’s election, the centrist Zionist Union.

If that happens, we are all sending thank you notes to John Boehner, and an eleven foot pole to stand outside of Tom Cotton’s office because from now on nobody will touch him with a ten foot one.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
