Senator Senile (R-Of course)

I was just watching the Senate on C-Span2, and I am convinced that Senator Stevens (R-AK) is senile. Senator Clinton (D-NY) had some procedural points for amendments and after she finished Stevens revealed that he had no idea what had just happened - I think he asked just that, which is pretty lame for a 3 term senator to not understand procedure - and then starting whining like a little baby about how the Democrats requisitioned time to talk about the amendments, but they had not given the Republicans equal time.

This is absurd because that is not something that the Dems, as the minority party, should be concerned with at all. If Stevens wants time to debate amendments he does not know anything about, he should request it himself without anyone from the other side of the aisle holding his hand. The most damning thing this was that it took Stevens a few minutes and several exchanges to actually articulate his complaints.

Remember folks, this is the man who is in charge of your internets.
