A Tweet from @NoahCRothman, Assistant Online Editor of Commentary Magazine:
There has been no magnanimity from this WH & Dems following Iran deal victory. Only football spiking and partisanship. Telling indeed.

Awwwwww
Here's Mitch McConnell, from The Hill:
"(they are blocking) the American people from even having a real vote on one of the most consequential foreign policy issues of our age. It’s telling that Democrats would go to such extreme lengths to prevent President Obama from even having to consider legislation on this issue. If the president is so proud of this deal, then he shouldn’t be afraid. He should wield his veto pen with pride and explain his rationale to the American people."

Nailed it, Mitch - POTUS seems really afraid.
And Boehner:
“This debate is far from over, and frankly, it’s just beginning. This is a bad deal with decades-long consequences for the security of the American people and our allies. And we’ll use every tool at our disposal to stop, slow, and delay this agreement.”

Erm, you just tried that. And failed.
And John Cornyn:
“I don’t know what else the Democrats could do to chase the pro-Israel community in the United States any further in the Republican direction. This is the same mistake they made on the Affordable Care Act. They made this a partisan issue.”
That same mistake of winning?
And Lindsey Graham:
“You own this. You own every ‘I’ and every ‘T’ and every bullet, and you own everything that is to follow, and it’s going to be holy hell.”

And some more Lindsey Graham:
“I’ve never been more disappointed in the body than I am today. You won’t let us have a vote. You won’t let us have a debate. And please stop saying this deal makes Israel safer. That’s cruel.”

Wah wah wahhhhhhh
And Bob Corker:
“The clock ends on Sept. 17. The president’s going to go ahead and begin lifting sanctions..."
Come back here - I'll bite your bloody legs off!
Here's Bibi BFF Shmuley Boteach on Twitter:
American people's elected representatives deserved the right to vote on deal and say no to nuclear Iran. Dark day for democracy.

To which WaPo conservative Jennifer Rubin responds:
@RabbiShmuley and a career thrown away by Cory Booker

Let me know in the comments if you find more examples of warmonger butt-hurt - I'll add them to the post...
Update 1:
AIPAC, which wasted $30 million trying to kill the agreement, appears to still be in denial (the stage of Neocon grief immediately preceding butt-hurt). From their press release:
By a solid, bipartisan majority, the Senate today made it clear that it rejects the profoundly flawed nuclear deal with Iran.
...
In sum, this deeply flawed, unpopular agreement with a distrusted, terrorist-sponsoring regime will lack the imprimatur of either the American people or the Senate. By its vote today, the Senate has sent a strong message to the world that the American people are deeply skeptical about Iran’s willingness to meet its commitments and the long term viability of this agreement. This vote should provide a note of caution -- especially to foreign companies and governments -- about jumping back into Iran.
