DOES BUSH HAVE 49 SOCK PUPPETS? = Specter to Reid: Who You Callin’ a Puppet?

[L. Coyote]

OMG: Senate Rule XIX prohibits the questioning of another Senator’s integrity.

Now, that is an idiotic situation. So, no Dem Senator can mention the Corrupt Bastards Club??
This rule harks of a corruption co-conspiracy. What do you think about Senate rule XIX???

Specter to Reid: Who You Callin’ a Puppet?

Taking offense at being described as a “puppet” of President Bush, Sen. Arlen Specter fired back at Majority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday, suggesting the Nevada Democrat isn’t up to running the Senate.

Reid on Dec. 4 had blamed what he called Republican obstructionism in the Senate on allegiance to Bush.

“He is the man who is pulling the strings on the 49 puppets he has here in the Senate,” Reid said, referring to the chamber’s GOP members.

Specter, R-Pa., cried foul and declared that Reid had not only violated Senate Rule XIX, which prohibits the questioning of a senator’s integrity, but was just flat wrong.

To make his point, Specter noted that 35 Republicans voted to override Bush’s veto ............
