Description | Independent Senator Bernie Sanders looked tired and disheveled as his filibuster of the Obama/Republican tax cut extension deal entered its ninth hour Friday. Like a modern day Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Sanders stood in the U.S. Senate and refused to yield time as he spoke against an extension of tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans in an attempt to derail the deal, creating an online viral video sensation in the process. |
