The spleen, she hurts. I think it had to do with listening to the Senate debate, if that word applies, and wondering: are they always this banal? This condescending? Are bloviating prevarications the rule rather than the exception? In short: is the world?s greatest deliberative body really filled with this many dim bulbs, card sharps and overstroked dolts who confuse a leaden pause with great rhetoric? If everyone in America had been tied to a chair and forced to watch the debate Clockwork-Orange style, we?d all realize that the Senate is just a holding tank for people whose self-regard and cretinous reasoning is matched only by their demonstrable contempt for the idiots they think will lap this crap up.

As for Rall, who cares about him? He?ll get his reward: the great yawning indifference of history. If people barely remember Kelly and Capp nowadays, what are the chances that they?ll remember someone who appeared to draw with his thumb?

He righteously insults some other people too, who badly need insulting. Actually, my favorite bit is the ending sentences.

But don’t take my word for it. Go read it all.
