Title change because of profanity. Read the whole article for more, including this snippet: "WHAT ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE of Senator Cornyn’s argument? It provides a revealing window into the process, and a lens for viewing the compromise on offer in the Senate bill.

Just damn!

McCain seems to be following the Howard Dean path to self destruction. It won’t be long now before he is just another has-been.

As the clock moved closer to 1:30 p.m., Senator McCain suddenly lost it. "This is chicken****," he told Senator Cornyn. "I think it would expedite things if you would just leave the room, Senator, so we can get along with finishing this up." Senator Cornyn responded: "Wait a minute. We’ve been meeting for three months on this in good faith, and now you parachute in here this morning and tell me to leave? I think you’re out of line." Senator McCain responded: "****you! I know what is going on here. I know more about immigration than anybody in this room!”

I absolutely HATE my Senator. What a ****!

And before we make Cornyn a hero for the way McCain treated him, both Cornyn and Kyl were in that room trying to screw us. Sure, they put a little KY in the bill, but the result was going to be the same. Kyl used to be one of my favorites, but his willingness to sell out on the immigration issue, while not as bad as McCain's or Bush's, has been disappointing.

McCain is a real bully. John Cornyn is a gentleman, and really does not deserve to be treated this way.

Senator McCain hasn’t made a Senate vote in the past five weeks. But he wanted to be front and center when the immigration bargain was announced...

McCain's utter lack of political acumen is mystifying. This bill, if initial reports are accurate, has sent the Republican base into paroxyms of anger, and will probably torpedo whatever is left of his presidential ambitions.

This is significant because the current system has produced 600,000 absconders – those under a deportation order who have disappeared while remaining free, itself a separate crime.

If we can't catch and deport 600,000 multiple law breakers how in the world are we going to identify 12 million plus illegals, of whom at least a third are those who have let their visas or other temporary documents expire.

The brutality of the French Revolution - is making a lot more sense now...

Most of our own Congress Critters have reached the point where the guillotine seems an appropriate retaliation...

And, as an aside to this amnesty outrage, “...Democrats’ $2.9 trillion budget plan, an outline for the largest tax increase in U.S. history.”

We’ve been meeting for three months on this in good faith, and now you parachute in here this morning and tell me to leave?

You just have to love that line.
