As long as he doesn't start spamming me:
"What the Democrats are doing is the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying, 'I'm in Paris. How dare you invade me. How dare you bomb my city? It's mine.' This is no more the rule of the senate than it was the rule of the senate before not to filibuster." - Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), quoted on the Senate floor.
To refresh:
Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread is over and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.
This should end the discussion, but ironically, since the topic at hand is the filibuster, discussion should therefore continue and Godwin's Law spirals off into a Moebius strip...
