A couple senators gave their farewell speeches from the Senate last week. Claire McCaskill was one, Jeff Flake Arizona was another.

You know, senators often use their final floor speech to praise the place. They praise the Senate as a great institution.

They offer fond memories of their time there.

McCaskill was having none of that and Jeff Flake kind of bombed out too.

McCaskill used her farewell address to call the Senate dysfunctional.

She knocked her colleagues into a bunch of cowards who live in fear of tough votes.

She said the Senate is not the world's greatest deliberative body anymore.

Now she closed with a quote that no families complete unless they have an embarrassing Uncle upstairs in the attic.

And she said we have too many embarrassing uncles in the United States Senate.

She added lots of embarrassing stuff happens there.

Well, we have a lot of embarrassing aunties or did, but now that she's gone Flake speech,

he thought it was going to be rousingly approved and appreciated.

There was a smattering of applause because nobody cared.

Either way, by both of you.
