Especially snakes in DC!

Damn, that’s a hell of a snow, even for Wisconsin. We had 14inches in Madison last week, and Madison WI knows how to deal with snow. DC, no way. Hopefully, it will keep Bambi in Nopenhagen.

Has he even been there for awhile or does he get to vote from the hospital or home. Have not seen him on c-span or TV. Think the MSM is covering for him???

The schedule for the rest of the year will be grueling, with several early-morning votes projected. Those will tax some of the Senate’s more senior members, such as ailing Sen. Robert C. Byrd, West Virginia Democrat. His colleagues broke out in applause for the 92-tear-old senator as he was brought in his wheelchair to the Senate floor for Friday morning’s vote.

I hope they all get stuck in DC’s notoriously ineffective snow removal system.

And freeze, we'll pick up the bodies come the thaw. :)

Not to worry, Snow, Collins, McCain will step up and vote to ‘help get it to the floor’!

Damn, I love those guys, always so thoughtful and making sure everyone ‘gets a fair shake’.

The last I heard, he’s at home, but he’s in and out of the hospital quite a lot.

I think he has a residency in Washington, D.C.

I stayed up to catch the vote tally, but I didn't see the fossil wheeled-in. It must have occurred when I switched away to watch Jerry Springer while they voted...lol.

Here's the most recent pic I can find ...

We all know who that one Republican traitor will be. However, there are several more candidates now.

I for one and not paying for insurance and I am sure as hell not going to pay for Hillary’s 100 billion for cap and trade.

I don’t know how to get Byrd around, but I do know that if you combine “Byrd, Hummer, and quorum” all in the same sentence, Barney Frank will be there even if there’s a nuclear blast.

Rove, you sneaky bastard! Turn off your evil Weather Machine!

Actually, if anybody's playing with the Evil Weather Machine, it's probably China. They have the capability and have been using it in their own country with plenty of glitches. They're not happy about the global warming conspiracy to clamp down on their economic development. I wouldn't put it past them at all to arrange a blizzard in Washington DC to welcome President Obama home from the Copenhagen farce.
