Senate Votes To Cut Spending By $39.7 Billion

The coolest Cool Fact About Dick Cheney: he gets to cast a deciding vote when the Senate is tied.

The Republican-controlled Senate passed legislation to cut federal deficits by $39.7 billion on Wednesday by the narrowest of margins, 51-50, with Vice President Dick Cheney casting the deciding vote.

The measure, the product of a year's labors by the White House and the GOP in Congress, imposes the first restraints in nearly a decade in federal benefit programs such as Medicaid, Medicare and student loans.

"This is the one vote you'll have this year to reduce the rate of growth of the federal government," said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, in a final plea for passage.

But Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada countered that the GOP was advancing "an ideologically driven, extreme, radical budget. It caters to lobbyists and an elite group of ultraconservative ideologues here in Washington, all at the expense of middle class Americans," he said.

Dick Cheney then cast the tie-breaking vote to have Harry Reid sodomized by a pack of hyperactive priaptic wolverines. "It was very exciting, to say the least," he later remarked.

It'd be even better if they could get a wolverine with a scorching case of herpes.

Would have been cooler if Cheney could have stayes in the Middle East and just sent his cock around the world to cast the vote on his behalf.

"stayed" sorry, Dick Cheney's cock makes me nervous

Man, Reid hit every damn near every single Democratic buzzword in those two sentences! Give the man a glass of water.

Posted by: Alex_fs on December 21, 2005 04:10 PM

I love it when Democrats think it is a stinging rebuke to accuse someone of having ideas.

Hey, it coulda been worse - they coulda been hyperactive periapetic wolverines.

Them's the worst.

Alex_fs,

I was just going to say it looks like Reid hit all the usual notes. It's kind of funny because for a while, weren't the Dems trying to be the new fiscal conservatives and critisizing the Republicans for Not cutting spending? Now they are OUTRAGED that the Repubs cut spending. And the beat goes on.......

Posted by: Big E on December 21, 2005 05:06 PM

Hey ace, those wolverines are "priapic", not "priaptic."

Posted by: OregonMuse on December 21, 2005 05:28 PM

So, is this the part where one half of the Democrats get to criticize the Repbulicans for having the biggest deficit in history, while the other half scream about callouse conservative cutting social programs to pay for their tax cuts for the rich?

Does Dick Cheney know he's evil? I mean it. Does he occasionally look up from his breakfast of one hard boiled egg and a plate of heart pills and say to himself, "Man, I'm an evil fuck”?

This quote from Huffpo. And the most twisted thing about this quote, it was made by the co-author of Anchorman. You'd think a guy with this much insight would KNOW Dick Cheney knows he's evil.

The post is here

This quote from Huffpo.

Oh, man, that quote is awesome!

This one was pretty insightful, too:

And the Republicans treat all of this as though it's a big game of Red Rover, Red Rover. Honestly... Republicans... do you really, truly think these guys are doing a good job? Really? ‘Cause you're killing us. And Dick Cheney is loving every second of it.

Yes. He. Is.

Good stuff. Thanks for the link, Jack Straw. I had misunderestimated The Huffington Post.

Sandy,

When I want to laugh with people I come here. When I want to laugh at people, Huffington is a good source of self-important blowhards talking truth to power. Endless source of unitentional comedy.

Congrats to the Senate for working one year to cut the deficit from a gazillion dollars to (a gazillion - 39.7 billion) dollars.

Posted by: The Unabrewer on December 21, 2005 09:04 PM

And I hope the cuts come out entirely from the US Postal Service budget. They're all asshats!

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
