Sounds like it! This concerns me and the article sucked for detail...

Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota said the agreement was "the mirror image of the resolution we passed in the 107th Congress," when Democrats were up by 51-49. "We are very pleased with the outcome of the negotiations." Daschle said he hoped the precedent of committee structures being proportionate to Senate seats would continue in the future.

In the long haul, I'll take being in control of policy over tossing "little Tommy Dasshole" a fiscal bone to chew on.

When the Senate GOP starts caving on policy I'll start complaining

I'm afraid my wait will not be long.

Wisdom is choosing the right battles to fight. Let's hope senator Frist is a wise man. To me, this first scrap is akin to arguing about the color of the fenders on the race cars.

Indeed. Not a good start for the elected GOP majority.
