1. How did he 'urge' the Senate, I wonder. I've long been saying he needs to

blast in there and pull an LBJ. Joe can do it, he's got the gravitas, he's not an "outsider", he's got the balls. He should go down and shame those motherfuckers until they're sobbing with self-loathing.

Okay, I may be asking too much, but I believe in Joe!
