Under cover of faux outrage, the Democrats passed the defense spending bill overwhelmingly 92-3. As Captain Ed notes, presidential contenders Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, Chris Dodd, and Joe Biden were conspicuously unable to vote today.
Democrats had threatened to hold up the Defense appropriation until George Bush bent to their will on Iraq. Harry Reid had petulantly taken the bill off the table in July, attempting to hold it to the last minute in order to pressure Republicans to change course in Iraq. Instead, as the success of the surge became more and more apparent, Reid found the ground falling out from beneath him.
It's no wonder the nutroots are wasting their time calling for silencing Rush Limbaugh. If they actually had to cover the cutting-and-running (not the kind they wanted) that Harry Reid's done, they might be really outraged.
Given the inability of the moonbats to get any of their agenda through Congress, I guess it's no wonder they focus on a phony flap about Rush Limbaugh. Why is it, I wonder, liberals always want to silence conservatives? Is it because their hypocrisy is so blatant? Surely, this isn't partisan politics at work, is it?
