Majority Leader Claire McCaskill?
Barring a complete implosion by whomever the GOP selects as Harry Reid’s challenger in Nevada’s 2010 Senate election, the Democrats’ Majority Leader (and part-time circus clown) will be booted from the Senate, Daschle-style, next year.
Apparently, the most stupid and terrible Senator we have, Claire McCaskill, is hatching a plot to succeed Reid as Majority Leader.
It’s like an ostrich trying to hatch a bowling ball.
That is absolutely the most ridiculous and asinine thing we have seen in a while — but it could honestly very well be her reward from Dr. Utopia for serving as his personal flight attendant on his campaign plane and embarrassing herself, without ever realizing it by consistently maintaining it was all the “bugging” her children gave her that made her so subservient and Kool-Aid drenched in Dr. Utopia’s service.
Claire Bear does not, by all appearances, and cumulative evidence, have a functional brain in her head. How she keeps from drowning every time it rains is beyond us, as we can’t help but imagining her staring up at the sky, blankly, wondering “where all that darn water’s coming from”.
If the goal is to completely obliterate the Democratic party, then Majority Leader McCaskill, teamed up with Speaker of the House Pelosi, sure would be the way to go. The two frontrunners to replace Reid are Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer, who apparently share a townhouse together in Washington and have peanut butter and jelly fights every other Wednesday (“I’m the peanut butter, you’re the jelly”. ”No, I’M the peanut butter and YOU ARE THE JELLY!” ”We are so Mary and Rhoda right now”. ”Totally. Now, pass me the those bananas, I’m in an Elvis kind of mood.” ”I was SO TOTALLY THINKING THAT TOO. We are, like, so totally in synch.” ”Totally”).
Our greatest hope is that the voters of Missouri wake up and oust McCaskill from the Senate herself in 2012. That would be hilarious if Claire Bear’s scheme works and she replaces an ousted Reid who then gets ousted her damn self two years later.
It will sure be interesting to see how much political capital the White House has left to spend by 2010. It sure seems like something Dr. Utopia would do, to push his mindless loyalist into the top spot in the Senate…the same way he wants to replace ALL Democrats in Congress and the Governorships with his own people, starting with David Paterson in New York.
McCaskill would be an absolute disaster in the Senate — so much so that she’d surely help drag Dr. Utopia down in 2012.
If Republicans were smart, they’d honestly start prepping to help her get to wherever she wants to go. As much as we’d hate to see her become the first female Majority Leader, anything that helps weaken the current president further when election time nears is wonderful to us.
We need things to get as caustic for Democrats as possible for there to be any chance of Hillary Clinton challenging Dr. Utopia for the nomination in 2012, which is what we want more than anything on Earth.

Good, then she can get taken out in the 2012 election for sure. Just as Reid hopefully well, Daschle in 2004, and Speaker Foley in 1994.
Good luck on the Rio Olympics. Here is my take

If the Republicans can’t oust these Dems in 2010, then they deserve to lose in 2012 too.
That’s what I love about the tea parties, they all think random people from telephone books can run the country better than what we have now !

Thanks for this blog, Hillbuzz. You really help people maintain their sanity in an insane world.
I’d love another opportunity to vote for Hillary Clinton. Sarah Palin is exciting too. I’m also curious about Liz Cheney. It’s not just that they are women, although I certainly want to see more women in office, it’s that they are all fighters and when you’ve spent all that time running the gauntlet, you learn some leadership skills and some integrity. You know where you stand. Combine leadership skills, a servant’s heart, and integrity, and you’ve got a wonderful public servant.

Eee Gads! I wouldn’t wish her on anyone and she’s my State Senator.
I called her office last week in DC and used a good ole Missouri colloquialism and was called a racist by her staff. That was fun!

There is a small chance that the Democrats might even lose the senate next year (very small, but still a possibility). It’s still early, but one of the polling outfits (I don’t remember which) is reporting that based on the current data, the R senators are leading, while a good number of D senators are in danger. Blanche Lincoln, Harry Reid, Arlen Specter, and Chris Dodd, to name 4. We’ll see. The other historical data point that I’ll toss out is that, in 1993, Republican candidates won the NJ and VA Gubernatorial elections in the off year. This encouraged a lot of people to get into the race. A similar thing happened in 2004, when the Blue Dogs ran in ‘06. FWIW.

Seems like she’s a carbon copy of Obama. Somehow we’ve got to get rid of her next election. She plays dumb, like she might not agree with him on some issues, but let’s just see her vote. Total cement head!
