C-J Calls McConnell "The Obstructor."

Did everyone notice that the Louisville Courier-Journal today called Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) "The Obstructor." They didn't mean it as a compliment. Since I have been referring to McConnell as "Obstructionist-in-Chief" almost since he was elected Senate Minority Leader, I feel some vindication that others share this view. The C-J's editorial lists only a few of the many matters that McConnell has stalled or blocked in the Senate--to the detriment of the national common good. It does a nice job of highlighting McConnell's hypocrisy--since when the GOP was in the majority, they threatened to take away the filibuster right of Senate minorities if the Dems used them to block some of Bush's more outrageous appointments. (Yes, this is how we ended up with Chief Justice Roberts on the Supreme Court!) From the "nuclear option" of removing the filibuster to a record year of obstructionism. That's our Mitch!

If this sickens you as much as me, then go to Andrew Horne's campaign and donate some money, and volunteer to help the campaign--our best chance in years to Ditch Mitch and elect a Senator that remembers what public service is all about.
