Filibuster Fight: They're "Going to the Mattresses"!!!

[Crankie Avalon]

I saw these pictures and they reminded me of "The Godfather" when Clemenza talks about "going to the mattresses." :D

Some of the pictures are of cots being set up in Harry Reid's office, which I'm guessing are for the Democrats. However, these particular photos below are of cots set up in "the Strom Thurmond Room" of the Capitol, which I'm guessing are for Republicans since he was such a civil rights and equality hero of theirs:


Going to the mattresses, Republican-style. (Strom Thurmond
deserves to have a room in the Capitol named after him?)


Will it be sweet dreams for Republicans under a bust of their
hero, Strom Thurmond? ("The peckah, it knooooows no bigotreh...")

2. That is one suggestion some Conservative Pundits

have made. Rather than explode the Nuclear option, just make us Filibuster. We woudln't have the fortitude to do it or something.
