Friday Repug Roundup

Before we get excited that Repug Jeff Sessions of Alabama chided the Senate today for trying to pass immigration legislation, I think we should keep in mind what Sessions said recently about Dubya’s domestic spying, which is an infinitely more important matter as far as I’m concerned.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, argued that the program "is not a warrantless wiretapping of the American people. I don't think this action is nearly as troublesome as being made out here, because they are not tapping our phones."
All the same, you just broke ranks (albeit for a comparatively minor cause). Your fellow wingnuts will remember you.

And why did I know that Jim (“Outraged By The Outrage Over Abu Ghraib”) Inhofe was behind the proposal to establish English as the national language? The only thing more pathetic is the fact that 64 percent of those polled in the CNN website's "Quick Vote" question thought it was a good idea (ugh).

By the way, I think this post from The Liberal Avenger is more than a bit illuminating concerning the note CNN tosses in as an aside near the end of the immigration/English story that Bush “often peppers his speeches with Spanish words and phrases.” How can this be done by someone who can’t even master proper English?
