"Senate Talkfest Long on Drama, Short on Substance" >

WASHINGTON — Capitol Hill staffers rolled out the cots and were preparing extra-strong coffee Wednesday in preparation for 30 hours of Senate debate on Democratic tactics to block four of President Bush's judicial nominees.

"There are 12 to 15 members who have requested cots and we've accommodated them. We'll make sure you get to take a great picture of someone in their pajamas," Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters early Wednesday.

"We're tougher than they are, we sleep on the floor," said Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D.

Well, the dems spend so much time in the gutter it's no wonder they don't mind the floor.
