after the Senate returns from the 10-day Presidents' Day recess.

I smell a recess appointment coming up.

“They indicated that they would move to end debate, even if ultimately opposed to Hagel, after the Senate returns from the 10-day Presidents’ Day recess.”

This means they want Hagel nominated but that they will register a meaningless “no” vote. They just want to string it out a bit.

McCain & Graham lookin' for more face time on the Sunday talk shows.

They're almost as bad as John "Live Shot" Kerry.
