Well, see, Frist had a deal with them to bring up what umemployment bill first, to get it passed.

He introduced Hillary as a sponsor. When she was recognized, she immediately said she wanted to AMEND the bill to make it for ALL unemployed people for 26 weeks (in other words, they sandbagged Frist.)

Then Daschle gets into it, saying why can't we do it for 26 weeks, for ALL the people, not just a few...blah blah blah.

Finally, Santorum had had enough. He asked to be recognized and said (something along the lines of -- but almost exactly this) "Senator, just what exactly is wrong with THIS bill today? This is the VERY SAME bill that YOU proposed and that YOU passed while you were Majority Leader.......now WHAT is wrong with this bill now? Or are you playing politics."

It was ABSOLUTELY fabulous!
