Well. Dick Zimmer, Frank Lautenberg’s Republican Senate opponent, has hit back hard against Lautenberg’s vote against cloture on the awful FISA “compromise”:
Press Release
LAUTENBERG VOTES TO TAKE AWAY TOOLS TO TRACK DOWN TERRORISTS
By ZimmerforSenate – June 26, 2008 – 12:49pm

Now, I know there’s a lot of opaque political jargon in this statement, but I’m going to take a stab at unpacking some of the highlights:
o Frank Lautenberg pretends to be a normal person, but is actually a serial liar.
o Frank Lautenberg wants to tell us how to behave, and define what style clothes we can wear, and what kind of tables we can eat off of.
o Frank Lautenberg is frequently a no-show for important floor votes. (Either that, or he’s an absentee parent; like I said, this political jargon can be pretty tricky.)
o Frank Lautenberg padded his resume with bogus achievements (or, alternatively, is padding his campaign funds with cash from from questionable sources).
o Frank Lautenberg hates widows, orphans, and families.
o Frank Lautenberg is so imperious and bloodthirsty that he’s like a modern-day version of an ancient Roman.
o Frank Lautenberg is a tool of shadowy Far Eastern interests who want to subjugate the US and force us to speak their language.
I look forward to seeing Lautenberg respond to these allegations, hopefully in the same kind of highly charged political language.
