Still struggling to get his 30 Mini-Mes

Senator Jim DeMint,  whose ideas of statesmanship include announcing none of the votes he casts are ever about South Carolina, and that while he sometimes feels lonely, he didn't go to DC to make friends, doesn't seem to realize that when you make a putz of yourself in your own caucus, they won't cosponsor your loony-bin bills:

About one month later, neither Bachmann's bill nor companion bills in the House and Senate have won majority support from their peers. Only 52 House Republicans have co-sponsored Bachmann's repeal bill, H.R. 4903, and only 62 House Republicans have co-sponsored Rep. Steve King's (Iowa) repeal bill, H.R. 4972. Most of the same people have co-sponsored both. Only 20 Republican senators have co-sponsored Sen. Jim DeMint's (S.C.) repeal bill, S. 3152. That worries some Republicans who want to run hard on repeal in November.
