MORE ON GEORGIA... THIS TIME IT'S THE DWT PROFILE IN COWARDICE AWARD TO-- WHO ELSE?-- SAXBY CHAMBERPOT

Johnny Isakson helps his pal Chamberpot unloading toilet paper
Senator Chamberpot (R-GA) thought he was a big shot. He swaggered into the Georgia state Republican party convention last month and told them he was standing firmly behind Georgia Bush and his plan for immigration. The Republican activists and bigwigs booed and hissed him and scared him out of his wits. Chamberpot-- like Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who was also booed at his state's GOP convention the same week, and for the same reason-- will have to face these voters next year. In fact he has an anti-immigration quasi-Democrat, Dale Cardwell, running against him. But unlike Graham, who has been targeted for political annihilation by the extreme right of the GOP, Chamberpot (and fellow Georgia crackpot, Johnny Isakson) has told Bush he's on his own. Chamberpot and Isakson have thrown in their lot with the Know Nothing and bigoted extremist end of the Senate GOP caucus, Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Jim DeMint (R-SC).
A close friend of Chamberpot's says he still has barely controllable loose bowels and severe headaches after facing the booing, hissing Republican conventioneers. Yesterday he and Isakson have told the anti-immigration leaders that they will vote against cloture-- the process that Reid and Bush want to use to move the debate forward. Chamberpot is trying to put lipstick on this pig but the trail of diarrhea spells out one word: "coward." Miss McConnell and Trent Lott, who are trying to round up the votes for Bush-- 22 are needed-- say they think they can do it, but DeMint, leader of the anti-immigration wing of the GOP, is laughing.
It's hard to imagine a movement on the extreme bigoted that Lott isn't part of. But, rather than a coward he's playing another of his signature public roles, that of an out and out lying sack of goat shit. And, of course a racist, a xenophobe and... just plumb out of his mind. You'll recall, of course, how loudly and aggressively Lott (R-MS) pushed for funding a hugely expensive wall to keep the undocumented workers his party tries luring to America in order to hold down labor costs, in a state of anxiety and fear. Today he belched these two little ditties out. First: "If the answer is, 'Build a fence,' I've got two goats on my place in Mississippi. There ain't no fence big enough, high enough, or strong enough you can keep those goats in that fence. Now people are at least as smart as goats, maybe not as agile."
And he soon followed that with: "One of the ways I keep those goats in the fence is I electrified it. Once they got popped a couple times, they quit trying to jump it. ...I'm not proposing an electrified goat fence, I'm just trying ... there's an analogy there." Yes, and there's a murderous fascist too.

Howie,
Thanks for the updates on GA politics.
I just have to step back, for the sake of my own sanity. I get too much personal fallout and angst from the attitudes in GA.
Like, when I was in Cambridge for ten years doing academic research. The level of sexist comments was overwhelming. For the sake of my own sanity, I had to tune them out, after I fought a few battles that ended up with me being bruised and beaten.
To stay sane in this environment, I have to put my hopes outside GA. Same as I did in the intellectually anti-female environment of Cambridge.
Hope you understand my comment. And thanks for highlighting the awfulness of GA. Even if I have have to put it out of my mind, to stay sane.
Saving grace, tho. John Lewis is my congressman.

clarification-
Cambridge, England.

It doesn't matter how much money the corporate welfare office doles out to their campaign chest. The good ole GOP boys of Dixie can count the votes of the outraged white masses since the early 60's. Do they sacrifice their seat or is their power trip just too seductive? Whatever they decide.. you know it will be in their own self-interest only.
