Ah, yes, Metzenbaum. Well, now you know where Dennis Kucinich gets his ideas. (I have the distinct privilege of living in Ohio...home state for these idiots. And unfortunately, you can add our governor to that group despite his being a Republican.)
It would have been nice if Breyer had said something like, "I will happily consume the milk of human kindness so long as I don't have to lap it off of your teat, Senator."
The look on Metzenbaum's face would have been priceless.
