A great blog on politics in Alabama, in case you haven't found it yet. Here's a good story from them recently:

If you need proof that Jeff Sessions is a pompous windbag full of poll tested, empty rhetoric, just go read George Altman's piece on the supercommittee failure, a version of which ran in the Huntsville Times under the headline Defense cuts, higher taxes or bigger debt. Altman quotes Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, reciting a familiar empty GOP talking point:

"When you run out of money, you have to make tough decisions."

In the current situation ,which tough decision would Sessions make ... taxing the rich, cutting defense or living with the budget deficit? Altman asked the question, and exposed Jeff Sessions as an worthless bag of soundbites:

But when asked which of the three conservative priorities he’d be willing to compromise, Sessions picked none of the above, placing his hopes on a Democratic retreat...

None of the above. Typical Republican ... whine and complain all day long but when it comes to offering solutions or making decisions it's "none of the above." There's Republican leadership for you!
