The term “war room,” which was once used to describe actual rooms from which powerful people went about warring, has now been watered down to the point where it just refers to some 9-year-old intern in an undisclosed Washington dungeon linking to articles about Bob Corker, on Twitter. This is the macho macho new Senate Democrats’ War Room! Look at how buff ‘n’ tuff they are, the Senate Democrats. Ha ha, nice try. An accurate “Senate Democrats’ Twitter Page” would feature a picture of an exasperated Ben Nelson and only one message, “Whoa whoa whoa, let’s slow things down and think this through,” reposted every hour on the hour.

I really hesitate to refer to Dems as pussies, because I happen to be in possession of a pussy, and I’m pretty sure it can bench more than Harry Reid.
Buff ‘n’ tuff indeed! That’s why their avatar is the arm of a girl called Rosie.
I think WarRoom is appropriate. Most of the “war” talk among the Merkin Mufflies of the Demrat party will be of the “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”

When I was a paralegal, a war room referred to a storage room filled with files and sleeping paralegals.

Truer words have never been spoken… er, typed.
Was Corker ever really interested in bipartisanship? ‘Cause I sure don’t remember it.
[re=410351]hobospacejunkie[/re]: First the nail and hammer, now the rivets…when did Bob the Builder become DNC chair?
The Democrats are never going to really speak to the masses if they insist on twittering in complete sentences. Grow a pair! And by a pair, I mean thumbs.

They’ll never do that. Thumbs are opposable.
Got to be Corker, he just do what he please: “Don’t come together, right now, GOP.”
Shouldn’t the painted-in text say “EL SLAPPO”, since it’s Mexican?
Corker? Damn near killed her.
When I look at that Twitter page, I want the Popeye theme song to play.
Rosie, you’re all right, you wear my ring
And when you hold me tight, Rosie, that’s my thing
And when you turn out the light, I got to hand it to me
Looks like it’s you and me again tonight, Rosie
I don’t think this is the Rosie they were talking about, but it would be appropriate.
[re=410358]Min[/re]: If by “bipartisan” you mean “being the least wingnuttiest Republican in Tennessee,” then yes.
The Dems would be better off simply adopting the French flag (which is, of course, the venerable white flag) as their party flag, and wave it every time the Republicans demand that they do.
