addenda to that blog, btw:

Update: Andy Bryant writes:

I think there's a more simple answer to why the Minority Leader is silent on the immigration issue. His wife is Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao. Although I know of no public stance taken by the Secretary on immigration, it only makes sense as a cabinet member of the Bush administration, she'd be on board. By extension, our up standing Senator McConnell, is being cajoled into silence on legislation he otherwise would oppose. Put simply; He wants to stay out of "dog house"?

And as far as concerns immigration, one would never know that Mute McConnell was “still” in the senate

Except, of course, for the minor fact that today he led his MINORITY party to a stunning 53-46 victory over Harry Reid’s MAJORITY party and, thus, saved us all from the dreaded amnesty bill.

Looks like Cedric has had enough.

Guess that hole he was digging finally fell in on him...

An embarrassingly sophomoric stab at credible analysis.

It’s more than pathetic and dishonest that you wish to steal away from Sessions the credit that HUMBLE HARD-WORKING MAN is due on the defeat of this evil illegal immigration bill.

HE is why it was defeated today. SESSIONS rallied the troops.

Mute McConnell was nowhere to be found....just like the topic of illegal immigration is nowhere to be found on his website.

And when, exactly, did the Republicans elect Sessions Minority Leader?

Lets let him lick his self-inflicted wounds.

We have more important fish to fry.

Sessions is the leader because Mute McConnell wasn’t leading.

He was peeing in his pants likely.

Sessions did yeoman’s work, for which we all should be enormously grateful. But he’s not the Minority Leader.

Sessions has done more than yeoman’s work.

He and his staff have READ THROUGH THIS MONSTROSITY of a bill...and has done so EVERY OTHER TIME...and cited LOOPHOLES IN THIS ONE, count 20....and pointed out the flaws in all the others....

as impotent Mute McConnell had his tail between his legs....

puke!

Sessions did his part, admirably, as directed by Mitch McConnell.

While you’re at it, why don’t you trot out the “Rove has a Mexican love child” and the “Vicente Fox has dirty pictures of George Bush’ and the “Trilateralist puppet masters bought a ranch for Dick Cheney in Paraguay” theories, too? But, please take care to ensure your sources are all as reliable as the legendary Andy Bryant.

Prove what you said, that “McConnell DIRECTED Sessions” to become the “assumed” LEADER of the fight against ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION BILLS IN THE SENATE
