Corked

Yeah, that's my name for RINO Bob Corker. He didn't support the stupid resolution passed today, but here's his caveat:

Republican Senator Bob Corker, R-TN, said he didn't support the resolution because he didn't believe it would affect Administration policy. Instead, he said next time he talks to Tennessee soldiers he will tell them, "I oppose what you are doing but I thank you for your service."

I sincerely doubt they want to hear that, you wimp, so why not just keep it to yourself? Then there's this:

A separate nonbinding resolution did not get a vote in the panel, but clearly drove conversation.

That resolution, co-sponsored by Coleman and Senators John Warner, R-VA, Susan Collins, R-ME, and Ben Nelson, D-NE, is seen as a softer criticism of the President. It states "the Senate disagrees with the plan to augment our forces by 21,500, and urges the President instead to consider all options and alternatives for achieving the strategic goals set forth below with reduced force levels than proposed."

As if the President hasn't considered all his options and alternatives. With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?

JASmius adds: Or, in other words, keep doing what hasn't worked. "Don't just do something, stand there!"

As pessimistic as I've been since the election, I've never considered it a possibility that the Senate might convict Bush and Cheney and remove them from office when House Democrats impeach them. At the rate the GOP remnant is deteriorating, I might have to start.
