JerkShot Cheney A Glaring Omission From Ranking Conservative Senators

How come Senator JerkShot Cheney faied to make the 10 Most Conservative Senators list? Any Senator with the motto; "If it moves, shoot it" deserves greater consideration from the selection panel of National Journalists. JerkShot Cheney is a straight shooting senator not generally known for his bashfulness, for example, nominating only himself for the Vice ticket, or suggesting to colleagues who cross him on the Senate floor to "go self copulate". Then there is the little matter of America sliding inevitably into the to Senator from Wyoming's totalitarian twilight, to wit, outsourced torture, illegal spying on innocent American's, and hell holes like Gitmo, where daily barbarism takes place under the Stars and Stripes. Cheney is a stumbling metaphor for Archconservatism and deserves to not only top the list, but to be number one with a buckshot blast.

Or another way to put it . . .

John Kerry is the most conservative senator in Massachusetts.

Actually...

They put Jeff Sessions at #1 and Wayne Allard at #2, followed by Tom Coburn at #3. When making a snide remark about Cheney's inability to be accurate on Kerry's ranking, it might help to be accurate about the Conservative ranking. You know, so you don't look stupid.
