Buttheads in the US Senate; being there and telling the nation, "We are buttheads; Our colleague, Jeff Sessions is one of us."

This YouTube video. Yes, Elizabeth W. was prompting them to define themselves; and they eagerly did. It is an absolute shame to the entire nation. But then, it was Mitch McConnell, and some other like-believing gavel-for-a-day.

In the words of 1968, which too many corporatist Democrats have forgotten, "The whole world is watching."

The situation was not reported in any suitably major fashion. Should it have been treated as demonstrable news?

You decide.

It surely works to prove something. The above headline, with bothersome implications.

Sessions is a cracker, and why should that not be said? Is, was, will be.

UPDATE: Even this guy knows Jeff Sessions is a cracker. He's a hypocrite for not simply acknowledging it, by silence. The more he spoke, the worse he sounded. He makes a great example why the nation might be better unicameral.

Catch Orrin's freudian slip at about minute 2:05. The " ... terible person. [pause] He doesn't deserve to be, [pause] . . ." statement, I believe I heard it correctly as said, is the one time in the spiel where Orrin spoke truth. Given the remainder, perhaps I misheard.

EVERY READER SHOULD WATCH ORRIN, TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE PEOPLE ARE INCENSED. AND WILL BE. FURIOUS, AND ORRIN SIMPLY DOES NOT CARE. HE IS SAYING EXACTLY THAT. TEN MINUTES IS FAR MORE THAN IT TAKES TO SAY "DAMN THE PEOPLE, WE'RE A DAMN CLUB."

FURTHER: Borowitz, The New Yorker.

Wonkette.

Cracker land redux.

OTHER NEWS: Unlike Franken, Warren has no time for fraternizing with the enemy. Al, live better. Do better. DeVos merits only scorn.

For all I know she was sworn in with her hand on a complimentary copy of "Art of the Deal."

Lord knows, a comp or not, she's flat out purchased her deal. No art to it.

FURTHER: Warren leads in ferreting out the smell of insider dealing and the skunk as cornered, takes offense. No art to Price's deal either.
