Scared Turtle Face Surrenders; Dems Discover Power is a Useful Tool

Jesusfuckingchocolatecoveredchristonapogostick!

What have we liberals been screaming for three and a half years, Harry Reid?

The repug filibuster threat is a bluff. Call it, and the fuckers will fold.

And yea, verily, it came to pass.

Senate Republicans announced this afternoon that they will allow financial reform legislation onto the chamber floor for a debate after bipartisan talks hit an impasse.

Bullshit. They caved because the Senate Democrats ordered their caucus to spend the night on the Senate floor, taking closure vote after closure vote after closure vote until the repugs finally screamed uncle.

But I can't celebrate, because it takes every iota of control to avoid thinking about how different the world would be today if Harry Reid had starting doing this in January 2007.

How many dead bodies in a "better late than never," you cowardly waste of oxygen?

As for Mitch's new nickname, I stole it from Wonkette commenter snideinplainsight:

To me, it looks like Mitch McConnell has a scared turtle face. Does it to you?

Yes! It does! Scared Turtle Face he is, from now on.
