Wishing & Hoping
That's the Democrats' title for
this Newsmax article:
For Republican Sen. George Allen, who recently complained that the Senate moves too slowly, Democrats say they have the perfect job: National Football League commissioner. In an interview that appeared in Sunday's New York Times, the first-term Virginia lawmaker and potential 2008 presidential candidate said, "I made more decisions in half a day as governor than you can make in a whole week in the Senate. It's too slow for me."
That prompted the Democrats to recommend that NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who is retiring this summer, consider Allen as a possible successor. Allen is the son of the late NFL Hall of Famer George Allen, who coached the Los Angeles Rams and the Washington Redskins. "We hate to see a good Senate seat filled by someone who is so bored by his job that he doesn't even like to spend time in the state he is supposed to represent, let alone vote in a way that serves his state's interests," said J.D. Poersch, executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Mr. Poersch's statements are typical Democratic snottiness. That's what to expect from the 'Party of Spoiled Brats'. Here's the adults' response:
Dick Wadhams, Allen's chief of staff, said the senator never said he was bored, but rather was commenting on how the Senate slows to a crawl when Democrats block legislation. "I don't think it's any secret that Senator Allen does not like the obstructionism that has dominated the Senate," said Wadhams, citing the past and current Democratic leaders Tom Daschle and Harry Reid.
Thanks Mr. Wadhams, for putting Democrats back in their place. If you hear a snotty remark, belittle it.
