Let us repair to the vomitorium forthwith, they're baaaaaaack...
that's right, the "Singing Senators" are back. Hot pokers in the eyes sounds more appealing than being stuck in a room being forced to listen to this tripe...


The Singing Senators Have a Quorum
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what if Sting and the boys are getting the Police back together? The musical reunion that really got our attention was Tuesday's appearance by the Singing Senators, those enthusiastic (if slightly off-key) warblers from Capitol Hill.

Three of the four original members -- Trent Lott, Larry Craig and John Ashcroft-- gathered for their first performance in six years. "We're not a quartet any longer," said Craig. "We're a trio, and there are a lot of good reasons for that."

Back in 1995, Republicans Lott, Craig, Ashcroft and Jim Jeffords began harmonizing at GOP fundraisers and charity events, released a CD -- "Let Freedom Sing" -- and raised millions, Lott said. Then in 2001, Ashcroft became attorney general and Jeffords turned independent. Did the messy Jeffords defection break up the group? It's undeniable that Republicans were absolutely furious at Jeffords, but, according to Craig, that wasn't the only reason for the split. Those pesky ethics rules prevented the AG from raising money.

But Citizen Ashcroft is free once again, which allowed the men to sing at the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute fundraiser at the Arlington home of Joe and Bronwyn Vasapoli. They began with a patriotic medley, followed with the risque (for them) "American Made" ( "She looks good in her tight blue jeans") and a gospel tune, then launched into their signature "Elvira." The encore? "God Bless America."

So, how rusty are they? Said a grinning Lott: "I give us an A for effort and a C-minus for results."

1. Do these people even have a CLUE as to what REALITY IS?
We know they are shameless, but the height of EGO, to think that ANYONE wants to hear this shit..

Take them on the road, get MCROVE to "dance" along with Tucker Carlson, and you'd have a certified FREAK SHOW..

Talk about the WaPost SUCKING UP to a Bunch of Losers, want to know what's WRONG with the media?

THIS SHIT :)

2. The "Singing Senators" are responsible for my blindness...

After hearing them once, my ears jumped off my head and ran, leaving me unable to wear glasses. I think my ears are hiding under the sofa, but obviously I cannot see them.

3. Fuck Ashcroft (and the rest)
Would hate for anyone to forget (or play down) Ashcroft's role in the erosion of due process in America

Ashcroft ain't exactly innocent in the crimes perpetrated by Bush Inc after September 11, 2001

4. This is a crime against music
I suggest beating these guys over the head with any musical instrument handy (and if it's a marimba, so be it.)

Yes there are. Jim Jeffords woke up and saw the light.
