I can't believe it!
What kind of idiotic rules do they go by in the Senate anyway? How can one stinking guy -- Republican Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky -- hold up the whole works on unemployment benefits?
Is there literally no way to get anything accomplished there? I find this stunning, that they, the majority, are so powerless, but he, one stinking guy, is so powerful.
I guess there's no way I'd want to be a Senator. I like to see things accomplished. I wouldn't want to just be there and spin my wheels endlessly. Now I know why they need a six year term. Maybe in all that time they can get lucky and accomplish one thing.
