This barely qualifies as news — Maverick being maverick-y, really? — but Drudge has been leading all day with that Daily Mail story claiming that zero Senate Republicans are backing the House’s budget bill. That makes it sound like McConnell and crew are set to kill this thing with a filibuster and put the two parties back at the brink of a shutdown in January. Not so. It’s sort of true that no Senate GOPer is supporting the deal in the sense that no one’s said yet that they’re voting for the final bill. But the final bill is irrelevant; Democrats can pass that on a party line with a simple majority. The big vote, as usual, is on cloture. And, as usual, you can guess which Republicans are lining up to cross the aisle.

McCain = S.E.L.B.

Harry probably sent out word that he was 1 vote short, and his good friend from across the aisle jumped up and shouted that he would vote for it.

“These men (politicians), in point of fact, are seldom if ever moved by anything rationally describable as public spirit; there is actually no more public spirit among them than among so many burglars or street-walkers. Their purpose, first, last and all the time, is to promote their private advantage, and to that end, and that end alone, they exercise all the vast powers that are in their hands …” H.L. Mencken

McCain: I’m inclined to vote with the democrats.

That’s all it needed to say.

[Howie66]

Hell. With McCain, I’m only amazed when he actually supports a conservative idea.

It happens so rarely that I can’t remember the last time he did so.
