Come On Over, Susan & Olympia — The Water's Fine

By Zamboni

We cats note with glee that the Republican Party's nutty base is very upset with Senators Collins, Snowe and Spector over the stimulus package.

They want to run them out of the GOP. In fact, the Mainers over at Free Republic are threatening a recall effort against Collins and Snowe. (We don't know what's going on over in the Freepers' Pennsylvania corner, but we suspect it's probably something similar.)

To which we cats say, have at it, folks. In fact, if Senators Collins and Snowe ever get tired of this silly behavior, we'd more than welcome them on the Democratic side of the aisle. That way, once Al Franken gets seated (and it's looking better for him all the time), that would bring our total number of Democratic Senators up to 61 — more than enough to frustrate Mitch McConnell's "just say no" mentality.

It also would mean that we wouldn't have to fly grieving Senators back from their mothers' Ohio funerals to make sure the economy gets saved. Works for us!
