Kerry to DeMint: Either Be a Good Boy, Or Stay in Your Playpen ....
It's a bit of a long, complicated story, so we're going to be a bit lazy, and just leave the link to the story from yesterday's TheHill.com. It pretty much gives you an idea of how petty politicians in DC are, when Jim DeMint found out that John Kerry, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, would not allow him to take a fact finding trip to Honduras (of all friggin' places) because DeMint was blocking some diplomatic appointments to a couple Banana Republics.
The whole thing is pretty stupid, but once word got out of the retarded squabble, Mitch McConnell came in and essentially said, 'Idiots, Get a Life!!' Yeah, it's resolved, but it makes you think about what other dumb shit happens in DC, and you then realize why NOTHING GETS DONE...

Maybe we should send the whole Senate down.
Yeah, but to Honduras? If they go to Costa Rica, they're going to need a guide, Moye.. Got any ideas for one?
I will lead them
Mitch worked out an end run and instead of a State department lear jet, the DOD, which bears such great love for the purgerer from Mass. managed to find a plane to make this happen.
Usually committee chairs don't make the move to block a fact finding trip, but when it comes to dragging up cover ups and real FUBARs that are due to their own policies, well Kerry can't apply for a purple heart for this self inflicted wound from MIlton's red stapler.
