Since watching the U.S. Senate on C-SPAN and then listening to our state politicians on local television and reading local newspapers, I have finally figured out how we are governed. It goes like this:
President Barack Obama says to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, "Jump, Harry, jump."
Then Sen. Reid says, "Yes, O Great One, how high?"
Then Sen. Reid says to Sen. Chris Dodd, "Jump, Chris, jump," and Sen. Dodd says to Sen. Reid, "Yes, O Magnificent Leader, how high?"
Then Chris Dodd says to the Connecticut Democrats, "Jump, you Connecticut Democrats, jump." Then the Connecticut Democrats say to Chris Dodd, "Yes, O Puller of the Wool Over Our Eyes, how high?"
Then the Connecticut Democrats turn to their children and grandchildren and say to them, "Don't fret, all you have to do is pay for what the Puller of the Wool Over Our Eyes says and it won't cost the taxpayer a cent."
Tell me, Connecticut Democrats, have you ever felt like you're about to be used?
Thank the Lord for our other guy down there, named Joe Lieberman.
