What a beating the DUmmies took. But they'll (unsuccessfully) spin it into another one of those "we really won by losing".
I'm also breathing a sigh of relief. I was getting nervous myself. Spending too much time in lurking in the DUmpster & it made me crazy.
What's really funny is that the RATs were phoning and faxing and e-mailing all of the Senators, all weekend, trying to convince them that, if they weren't going to vote against cloture, then abstain altogether so that the Good Guys wouldn't get the 60 votes needed. I guess they don't understand that the general public -- at least, the ones who are paying attention -- would see that the same way they would see an outright "no" vote.
Did you remember to take a shower before returning?
"Spending too much time in lurking in the DUmpster & it made me crazy."
Go take a long shower and get all that ka-ka off of you!
Use lots of soap....and a brush!
