NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A Senate fight looms Thursday over President-elect Barack Obama's attempt to secure the second half of the $700 billion financial rescue package.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced Wednesday night that the Senate would vote on a resolution that seeks to block the release of $350 billion.


A senior Democratic leadership aide told CNN that party leaders are hopeful they have enough votes to kill the resolution but conceded they did not know for sure.

Eight Republican senators, led by Sen. David Vitter, R-La., said Wednesday they would do all they could to prevent Treasury from getting the remaining TARP funds.

1. It has been made clear over the past couple of weeks that Vitter has appointed himself head

a$$#ole of the Republican Senators - willing to do whatever assholish thing other Republican Senators may not be willing to do.

Does he think being the biggest Republican dick in the Senate is the way he can get reelected in the increasingly red state of Louisiana since he will have to run in 2010? I assume he wants to create other controversies to drown out the entire prostitute/diaper episode and act in such a way that Republicans will rally around him and he can win.

2. the republicans will never leave partisanship behind..their party is built on being assholes

3. I know but I just noticed a new one trying to step up in the ranks.

16. Is it just me, or is Vitter the new Santorum? nt

[mrreowwr_kittty]

4. How the FUCK did this diaper-wearing prostitute patron become the standard bearer for the GOP?

Whatever. I don't care. Can we PLEASE just keep reminding the country that David Vitter is an adulterer with a diaper fetish?

5. God only knows

[tsuki]

8. The GOP cream rose to the top. nt

[bdamomma]

12. why wasn't he thrown out of the Senate?

[provis99]

6. so what would Vitter do with the money?

Buy more hookers and diapers? Vitter is a slimy piece of amphibian shit.

[Dogmudgeon]

7. Idea: Mail disposable diapers to Vitter

--p!

[spanone]

9. great idea

[SpiralHawk]

10. This is the republicon DIAPER strategery

I say, air it all out...

[Zodiak]

11. Smear him

Send spokespeople to the cable channels and mention Vitter's diaper fetish and ties with the now-dead DC Madam ad nauseum. Write op-eds about it....write LTTEs. Smear this guy from one end to the other until he relents and crawls back in the hole he came from.

And if anyone says this is a republican tactic, might I point out that unlike Republican accusations, this one is TRUE.

Vitter never got the news coverage that Foley did....let's correct that and take one asshole Republican off of the obstructionist conga line.

[spanone]

13. the thugs wouldn't think twice about it

[lunatica]

15. "obstructionist conga line" LOL!

Good one!


:rofl:

[lunatica]

14. Someone should take Vitter aside and remind him of his diapers...

And how it would look when it suddenly becomes a newsworthy topic all over again.

I can't believe how these perverts get away with the shit they fling all over the American people. Who the fuck is Vitter to head anything? To criticize? To hold anyone to some higher standard? To even deem himself capable of questioning the credentials of anyone on the planet?

Jesus! I thought we were going to function in the reality based world. Can't someone remind Vitter of the reality of his manners?

[Johonny]

17. how as this guy become a important person in the senate

Perhaps the ethic committee should investigate his diapered butt
