I've been watching all this transpire today. Frankly, Reid and the Senate Dems employed a little used rule to get their way. They caught the GOP Senate leadership flatfooted. Listening to Frist, Santorum and Lott whine aloud is the real downside to all this. When Frist said, the Pubbies won't get down in the gutter with the Dems, I was wondering, why not? Sometimes you've got to fight fire with fire. Take off the gloves and have a bareknuckle fight. Is the GOP Senate leadership not good at hand to hand combat? Seems like it.
I wish I could be a fly on the wall in the senate chamber right now. My guess is the Pubs are sending a very interesting message.

And we have no reason to believe they'll do anything OTHER than whine.
