Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized the decision to bury bin Laden’s body at sea. "To me, that didn't make a lot of sense," Graham said during an interview with conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham. The Hill points out that he “was buried at sea within 24 hours of his death in accordance with Islamic law.”
“A Senate vote on the House budget resolution authored by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) “probably” won’t happen this week, a Democratic aide told The Hill on Monday.”
“A GOP bill to cut off funding for part of the healthcare reform law could ultimately shift decision-making power from the states to the federal government, Democrats and nonpartisan analysts say,” The Hill reports. “The bill, scheduled for a House floor vote Tuesday, would eliminate grants to help the states establish health insurance exchanges. But it wouldn’t strip the federal government’s power to run an exchange in any state that doesn’t set up its own.”

Nothing? No comments at all? But....Ensign was part of the new majority that was going to take us to financial nirvana, right? Right? Guess not. He let the little head think for the big head.
As TS Eliot said, it ends "...not with a bang, but a whimper."
Senator Graham, your confusion is both chronic and self inflicted.
So...what exactly would you have had them do with the corpse? No country would take it. Leave it in Pakistan, and let the radicals make regular pilgrimages to the grave? Bring it back to the US and figure it out later?
It didn't make "a lot of sense" to you because you haven't thought it through.
He has no sense, and that's why it doesn't make a lot of sense to him. Isn't he one of those ignorant birthers? What the heck were we to do with the body. And it would make a martyr of Bin Laden to his followers to bury it in Afghanistan where they create a shrine to this psychopath. Makes perfect sense to me to bury him at sea.
Hey I found a dead skunk anybody want it, what do I do with it, you want it Mr. Graham?
Good riddance to Ensign. Graham's is fishing for a cause without bait or debate. Most telling? They don'ty want to take this vote until the Obama bump has peaked on this strategic win for the country.
Political posturing period.
Oh, and bye-bye Ensign. Sorry your final episode was a bust, now go eat Nevada dust as you run and hide. Now that's a must? Trust us! You'll feel better in the shadow and off the stage. Maybe that crazy spell you had there will ebb. I'll say a prayer and DO enjoy your retirement on the taxpayer's dime.
