I heard that Frist broke down and sobbed on the senate floor, screaming "MOMMY MAKE THE MEAN MAN GO AWAY!!!" Reid slapped him in the face, hard. When that didn't work he kneed Frist in the groin. Frist kept crying and crying, so finally Reid pulled out a .44 magnum and said "Do you feel lucky today, Punk?" Frist was put in a straight jacket and escorted to Bethesda.

Reid's assault on Senate GOP by kos Tue Nov 01, 2005 at 12:50:37 PM PDT As the post below notes, Reid asked the Senate to go into special session on intelligence -- that is, a closed session -- to discuss prewar intelligence. This mostion, along with a second (provided by Durbin), requires all Senators to report to the Senate floor. It is a non-debatable motion. Cue in lots of hystrionics from Frist and company. Republicans whined that this was a violation of Senate tradition. This coming from the gang that wants to eliminate the judicial filibuster. Frist whined that he wasn't consulted. As though Democrats have had a seat at the table in this Congress. They want to play hardball? Fine. Reid sent notice that he can play that game as well. Frist whined, "Senator Daschle never did anything like this." Damn right. A new sheriff is in town. Now, this is more than a temporary stunt.The Democratic leadership has promised to call a special session in the Senate every single day until Republicans alllow for a real investigation. So let's see what we have here -- Democrats showing leadership and fight. Very nice. Democrats creating a media narrative around Republican stonewalling of a real investigation into pre-war intelligence. Also very nice. Republicans getting a taste of things to come if they initiate the nuclear option? Very crafty. They are currently still in special session.
