Since you quote my post, which was written immediately when Rush first announced the phone calls correcting him, I will respond. My post was not meant to encompass ALL that Rush said about it. In fact, reading the very next post:

Haven't had time to catch up with all of this thread yet, but Santorum's office just called Rush's office and said the Fox story was wrong -- no cloture vote Tuesday (Rush is glad) -- they did say some members are getting nervous about other business not being done. (Which members, Democrat or Republican?) And that they are trying to get as close to a "real" filibuster as possible although it may not be 24/7. Rush seems to be feeling a little better based on these representations. He's come down hard on the Republicans today which I hope will help encourage them to stay the course on Estrada. It's crucial.

See the word "wrong"? Fortunately the Republicans had no intention of backing down and aren't changing a thing due to Rush. (Who I AM a fan of, but this time he relied on only the one story and was under a false impression.)

I am willing to drop the fight over the stories if you are?

Main thing is the Gop does not give in and we beat the rats at their game. Much is at stake and I have from as far back as the week of the 15th pointed out the constitution issue and that is what is as important as getting things passed that the President wants.
