Sen Saxby Chambliss of GA to assume Craig's duties
I heard on one of the Sunday morning talk programs that Saxby Chambliss of Georgia is being groomed to take over Sen Larry Craig's Republican "leadership" positions.
Anybody want to bet that ol' Sax can't handle a little stall work ? The first hurdle he must pass before winning this awesome job -- is proving that he is capable of assuming the "wide stance". If that comes natural, he will advance to hand signals and foot tapping. As a Georgia voter, I have no doubt that the Sax can handle all of Larry's responsibilities.
8. We progressives in GA tried but alas... the smarmies won
Here's Saxby's voting record: What the hell kind of name is that anyway? His son's name is BO (go figure) Oh, OK...I just looked. His first name is CLARENCE. WTF? Felix? Clarence? Willard?
* NARAL: 10% * American Civil Liberties Union:7% * U.S. Chamber of Commerce: 91% * National Education Association:27% * League of Conservation Voters: 0% * Christian Coalition: 100% * National Rifle Association: A+ * AFL-CIO: 15% * National Taxpayers Union: 74%
10. Craig's leaving is actually a bit of a loss for us--
he stuck up for civil liberties during Patriot Act renewal, much to the disgust of BushCo--they wanted him out of office. You can bet that whoever fills in won't be as kind to the Constitution.
