Then Tony was also wrong.....because what was reported did not occur. I watched....and listened....Thursday night. No cloture vote was filed. Just didn't happen. So I will put Tony in the 'egg on the face' column, I guess.

No, sorry, I wasn't clear. His point was that the Fox story was true when it was reported; the pubbie strategy changed when their position grew stronger during the day. Tony at that point, when talking to Sean, already knew they weren't going to do a cloture vote, but he was telling Sean that indeed had been the plan earlier.

There is a Senate rule that you have to have the motion to invoke cloture given to the clerk of the Senate 48 hours before you vote. The Senate was not in session when this interview was done, so how could a motion to invoke cloture for a Tuesday vote even be a subject of discussion when it wasn't introduced in the Senate on Thursday before adjournment.

Do I think Snow was covering for Garrett and his reporting, you bet I do! Garrett was already disproved about his opening of the article which BTW Fox removed from the new article. The first three paragraph (I didn't check the rest) were changed! So already the original article that Rush used was wrong!
