Senator Mark Pryor - No Excuses

Over in our next state neighbor, Arkansas, US Senator Mark Pryor is making a case for no more excuses in the war on terror. Read about it here. When will Oklahoma Senators Inhofe and Coburn stop making excuses for the Republican White House's failed leadership?

Razorbacks and Sooners both love their football and downright adore their coaches. But, if by halftime their teams aren't performing they take a look at the films and make adjustments --- they don't wait. Sometimes they change the plays and sometimes the players, and sometimes, it's the coach that has to change. Seems to me that politics and football are similar enough to take a lesson from this playbook. Something's gotta change.

Now, I understand that the war on terror has much greater significance than any football game, but as to strategy and leadership....winning matters.

Mark Pryor has also endorsed defacto Republican Senator Straddle Joe "Two Times" Lieberman, after he was defeated in the Democratic Primary of CT by Ned Lamont. He also holds a leadership position in the DSCC. Senator Pryor needs to be sent a very strong message from Democrats that his continued support of Lieberman is unnaceptable. Chuck Schumer needs to be told to jerk Pryor back into the Democratic party.
