It's 6/6/6 today. Do you have anything special planned? Appropriately enough, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (who recently indicated that he thinks banning gay marriage and flag burning are two of the nation’s most pressing priorities), plans to spend the day appeasing "the right wing sickos who are once again demanding that Bush and the GOP cater to their extremist conservative views." Let's hope that just as with his other attempts to pander to religious fanatics, this sleazefest proves to be yet another bellyflop. CNN's Bill Schneider seems to think that outcome is a distinct possibility:
The amendment supporters are running another risk. Ask Americans what issues they care about right now, and Iraq, the economy, immigration and gas prices top the list. That's what they want the Congress to debate.... This debate is unlikely to produce a result, except to reinforce the image of a Congress that's out of touch with the people's real concerns.
