Or else I am taking my Gavel and going home. After a few seconds of Leah Vukmir spouting talking points, much to the dismay of their constituents, Sensenbrenner Had enough of the plebes and grabbed his gavel and went home. Its funny because the people whining about this (see Milwaukee Hate Radio) were [...] Yesterday former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (it still pains me to call him “former”) announced the formation of Progressives United, a political action group meant to promote progressive issues and candidates and to combat corporate influence in politics.
