The Dems roll of shame; the Rs roll of honor

one's extremely short and should have been a hell of a lot longer... the other is a little longer and should have been nonexistent...

The US Senate has passed the Detainee Treatment and Trials bill (S. 3930) by a vote of 65-34.

Twelve Democrats voted in favor of the Senate bill: Tom Carper (DE), Tim Johnson (SD), Mary Landrieu (LA), Frank Lautenberg (NJ), Joe Lieberman (CT), Bob Menendez (NJ), Bill Nelson (FL), Ben Nelson (NE), Mark Pryor (AR), Jay Rockefeller (WV), Ken Salazar (CO), and Debbie Stabenow (MI)

One Republican, Lincoln Chafee (RI), and the lone independent, Jim Jeffords (VT), voted against the bill. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) did not cast a vote.

and, yes, of COURSE, the r's favorite democrat, lieberman, voted for it...

i'm so ashamed for my country...
