Might I suggest McConnell from the senate floor:
"There are 16 of them. There was the Biden resolution. Then there was the Levin resolution. Then there was the Reid-Pelosi resolution. The Murtha plan. The Biden-Levin resolution. The Conrad funding cut -- and there was a waiver plan; a timeline plan; a Feingold resolution; an Obama resolution; a Clinton resolution; a Dodd resolution; a Kennedy resolution; a Feinstein resolution; a Byrd resolution; a Kerry resolution -- and today would make number 17."
Good one.
