Senator John Kyl (R- AZ) proves he is smoking dope by lauding the potential choice of Republican Senator Judd Gregg for Commerce Secretary.  On Fox news Sunday, Kyl drooled,
 "It shows a great deal of perspicacity on the part of President Obama to select a guy like Judd Gregg, who is just a phenomenal senator, very bright."

Regardless of Greggs checkbook street-cred, his departure from the Senate would take the rolls one step closer to a filibuster-proof majority for the Dems.  Senior Republicans, however, believe there is no danger of Obama taking advantage of that opportunity.  If Gregg leaves, the Democratic Governor of New Hampshire would hold that decision.  Not to worry...nothing to see here folks.

Naked Emperor Mitch McConnell assured us on "Face the Nation,"  "Sen. Gregg has assured me that if it were to happen, it would not change the makeup of the Senate.  It would have no effect on the balance of power in the Senate.

Well, good, as long as you say so Mitch.  However, maybe rather than dropping the entire fate of the nation on the roulette wheel, perhaps you folks should assist Judd in politely declining?  Wouldn't you do the same if your buddy had beer goggles, and was hitting on a toothless chick?

I wonder, when faced with the opportunity to ramrod every fringe policy decision through without argument, would BHO choose to-- just maybe--take the opportunity to have four/eight years of smooth sailing?  

Senate GOP, could you at least give us a back rub or some flowers before you bend us over?  

No wonder Conservative Grapevine.com's website of the day is "Mitch McConnell Needs Some Balls"
