George Bush requires a personal oath of loyalty?

BURN!
Patrick Leahy: And then you said, I took an oath to the President, and I take that oath very seriously. Did you mean, perhaps, you took an oath to the Constitution?

Sara Taylor: Uh, I, uh, yes, you're correct, I took an oath to the Constitution. Uh, but, what--

Leahy: Did you take a second oath to the President?

Taylor: I did not. I--

Leahy: So the answer was incorrect.

Taylor: The answer was incorrect. What I should have said is that, I took an oath, I took that oath seriously. And I believe that taking that oath means that I need to respect, and do respect, my service to the President.

Leahy: No, the oath says that you take an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States. That is your paramount duty. I know that the President refers to the government being his government -- it's not. It's the government of the people of America. Your oath is not to uphold the President, nor is mine to uphold the Senate. My oath, like your oath, is to uphold the Constitution.

Senate roll call on Iraq funding vote

Worth noting: Both Jim Webb, and John Warner voted "yea" as did Harry Reid and 435 term Senator John McCain. Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama both voted against the measure, but only after enough votes were in to secure the bill would pass, and war loving Senator Brownback Mountain of Kansas couldn't even bother to show up. Another thing I found interesting was the fact that of the six Senators not voting, four were Republican (supposedly the "troop loving party") while only two were Democratic, one of which was Tim Johnson (D-SD) who I think we can all agree has a legitimate excuse.
