Political Temper Tantrum

It looks like the reasons behind the Iraq War has finally festered into a political temper tantrum for the Senate Democrats.

Think of your 3 year old in your favorite super department store when seeing his favorite action figure demands to have it, and you ignoring his pleas, goes into a wild screaming and body thrashing frenzy of monumental proportions. Right there in the middle of the store. All you wanted to do is get laundry detergent, some pull-ups and overnight diapers (you know, to protect from leaks), and buy that "How to Raise a Supreme Court Judge" book you've been eyeing the past couple of days. There goes your plans to get that needed laundry detergent, and the diapers. And, you may as well forget about your aspirations for your future Supreme Court Judge.

"If you don't pipe down, we are marching right out of this store right now, Mister," you demand, like your 3-year-old cares about your agenda at the store.

"Buzz Lightyear, Buuuuzzzz, Mommy. I want Buzz!" your 3-year-old whines as he grabs the action figure in the box and presses the buttons.

"To infinity, and beyond," the toy declares as you, too, think that your child will whine to infinity and beyond, too. "Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!"

You sigh, knowing that the action figure's words might have some truth to it. "Yes, yes, Junior, Buzz Lightyear to the rescue. Now, put it in the cart and let's go. I've got shopping to do."

Makes you wonder what Fitzgerald has uncovered during his investigate about the outing of the CIA agent.... Hmmmm...

Will the saga in the Senate play out like the illustration in the store, or will the Democrats whine to infinity and beyond, or will the Republicans drag the Democrats out of the store kicking and screaming? Stay tuned to the exciting adventures of Danny the Democrat and Robbie the Republican in Crazytown on Nack Jr.
