U.S. Senate or Carnival Fun House?

Two recent addresses by U.S. Senators raised the question whether the Senate was listening to congressmen or clowns. I think it’s a split ticket.

The clown cap clearly crowns John Kerry who, with a straight face, stated that global warning was a greater threat than the goings on in Syria and Iran. He is apparently under the impression that nuclear fission has a cooling effect on the planet. With the possible exception of gormless Gore, no one takes that claim seriously.

Harry Reid, whose raspy voice is the only evidence that he’s still alive, defiled his ancient training as a lawyer by making a totally unsupported claim that Governor Mitt Romney hasn’t paid his taxes for ten years. If his action were not so heinous, it might be nostalgic to be reminded of the glory days of Joe McCarthy who at least exhibited a list. I feel sort of sorry for Harry when it’s necessary to inform him in due course as to what he was put up to by Democratic leaders who, of course, wouldn’t have the nerve to engage in such outrageous conduct on their own.

A major bonus of bumping Obama out of office in November is the political emasculation of his cronies that will occur as a consequence.

Just super. Thanks for this.
Some guy relieved himself of a screed about how bad conservatives are. I'm repeating it here, just for fun:

"When I think "conservative," I see decent, peaceful, citizens using their economic, not political, power to resist bullying from power-hungry mayors who, according to your own admission in another thread, tried to introduce a bit of fascism into the American scene. I also see citizens who picked up after themselves and a company that served free lemonade to the idiots, relatively few in number, who thought they'd garner favor by kissing in public. Finally, I see a guy representing liberalism at its best being rightfully fired for harrassing a totally cool and gracious drive-through attendant.

When I think "liberal," I see, in addition to the bullying mayors who have now been effectively silenced in shame, the barely alive Harry Reid doing his Joe McCarthy imitation without even a list to wave, and the totally deranged John "kept" Kerry who apparently thinks that nuclear fission will have some cooling effect upon the environment. I also see the lovely Occupiers who, to the extent they are decipherable at all, seem to echo many of your sentiments. Talk about pestilence!

You show some signs of being a bright guy, Ted, but boy are you off the mark on this issue"
Sorry, I should have said I'm re-posting my response to the screed. The screed itself would tax the byte limit.

Harry Reid does have one raspy voice.
Maybe Harry needs a Aerosol Inhaler.
Kerry got his Silver Star Medal. How?
Never Mind. I voted Heinz Ketchups.

Did you notice that the guy who harassed the drive-thru gal (and got fired for it) was the chief financial officer of his company, and was named Adam Smith? I wouldn't have dared make that up.
Pretty crazy, no doubt.
