Bobby's Blue State

Dem Balls

Please, please, please, Democrats in Congress, return to the Hill with a renewed vigor and a giant set of balls. You have nothing to lose and we need some nasty pricks, like Delay, on our side. If there was ever a time to stand up for the other 48% of us, it is now. I only wish you would have started on November 3, by pushing for a ballsy, deep blue-stater, like Chris Dodd, as your Senate Minority Leader. I'm tired of having solid red-staters in that position, people who have to pussy-foot around because they have to answer to the folks back home if they get too aggressive with their hero, Prez Boo-sh.

But, OK, I promise to forgive you on this one if you get out there and fight back. There are 45 of you in the Senate - not 39, not 40 - that's not a shabby number. And I cross my fingers every day for Chaffe's conversion. And why shouldn't he? So many of those once Democratic, Southern Senators flipped to Republicanism like it was a badge of honor when it suited their needs.

And maybe set Senator Kerry loose. He should be good and peeved from the abuse he endured during the long campaign. He should be rarin for another round. Just let them mention drilling in Alaska in front of him...

So I beg you Congressional Dems, just do this Blue-Stater proud and grow dem big. I'll be watching.
