Every time Senator Demented is in the news, I think that we should have let South Carolina go when we had the chance.

Does DeMint have to clean his own room at C Street or does he have use of one of the young aides?.....Did he share quarters with Sanford,Ensign,and Pickering at C Street or did he have his own space?.....Is he head of The Family or a member of The Family?

Man is delirious!!!! He stole his re-election and thinks he is above the law. Can't stand looking at him - he is another bought and sold Republican and it is pathetic. Another GOP alien!!!

Big test huh? If it's an IQ test, I don't just predict a low score...I predict total *failure*.

Can this guy find any candidates that are more off the wall than the crowd he is pusing? He had better go back to SC and take care of business there before that circus gets even more out of hand. Or maybe he is off hiking on the Appalachain Trail?

He has been unusually quiet lately, he knows he tends to place foot in mouth, he is playing it safe... Would love this guy to go bye bye.
