A lone bright spot of the Senate Dems

Reid Dares Republicans to Stay Over Break
The indictment of Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska on Tuesday lifted Democrats' hopes of winning a Senate seat in Alaska - a feat they have not accomplished in the Last Frontier since 1974.
But the majority leader, Senator Harry Reid, said he was actually feeling good about Senate races across the country. And he said that if Republicans wanted to stay in Washington through August to debate energy policy instead of going home to campaign, well, that was just fine by him.
With a bitter fight raging over how to address high gasoline prices, some Republicans have intimated that the Senate should not leave for the August recess at the end of this week unless it can pass some sort of energy legislation. In fact, the Democrats have not officially "recessed" for more than a year because they do not want to give President Bush the chance to make appointments to vacant jobs that require Senate confirmation.
And Mr. Reid said he would be happy to have Republicans join the lone Democrat coming in to open the Senate during the break. "We don't need the Republicans' permission to adjourn," he said, scoffing at the question at a news conference on Tuesday. "We're going to be in pro form session. This is because of President Bush not being fair on nominations. So we're going to be here anyway."

This calling for "working" during their "break" is a lousy version of "Who's on First" and apparently is used alternately by both wings of the Party to entertain us. Like Pro Wrestling, only without the entertainment part. It's tiring. So old Ironsides hisself Harry 'the Rock' Reid is 'daring' them to stay. Probably from behind bulletproof glass, a squad of Secret Service and peeing his pants at the thought they might take his, oh so manly, dare. Fuck you Harry. It's embarrasing you call my hometown your's.
