This whole brouhaha about filibustering really amazes me. One would think that the Senate actually gets things done so that the idea of some idiot or group of idiots holding up their sober and intelligent deliberations is something that we have to zealously guard against. It may very well be a good idea to let the filibuster proceed so that our nation can really see how ridiculous our leaders are. Let's show the filibuster on all the tv channels. Run it in place of Law and Order. Here we are sinking into the marshes and these people believe it more important to express their disagreement than to try to solve our problems. Why has this country sunk so low as to tolerate this bullshit by the lower orders?
Would an intelligent electorate see that a filibuster where a Senator talks about nothing for days on end is an abdication of responsibility by the Senate and by us? Should we not start a campaign to recall the entire Senate? The quality of these people is really sub-par. Would you hire Reid to run your operation? Would you trust Dodd to actually say what he really believes? Why should anyone pay any real attention to Nelson or Lieberman? Why do we tolerate suuch assholes?

Because in a democracy with two parties, where both candidates are assholes, there is no choice. Select your favorite asshole.
