Yep...
Now by spiking Bolton do you mean voting for cloture and then voting against Bolton?
That would be one way. The other would be a "bipartisan" filibuster. Give some Dems cover to vote against the filibuster by plugging in some Republicans to take their place.
Hard to believe that Voinuvick [or should I coin a nickname after the crying incidence and call him Voinabitch] would feel the need to cry on the Senate floor if he knew the fix was in and Bolton would be spiked?
He wasn't part of the deal, so there would have been no need to consult him or to clue him in. The fewer people that know any of the details of the back room part of the deal, the easier it is to keep the particulars from leaking out.
His behavior makes me think the fix is in and Bolton will be confirmed.
Useful idiots are always more passionate than the power players that use them.
But we will see.
Yes & soon.
Yeah, we will know soon. Of course everyone "thinks" they know what the deal is and by everyone I include Senator no-agreers, staff, FreeRepublic posters etc. I think we will only see the deal revealed over time.
Regardless of what happens ultimately, I hope we get our early spoils, at least Brown, Owen, Pryor and Bolton before it does. It is only reasonable that Frist take the goods offerred first before he "tests" the deal later.
