Oh....Brah-vo! [sarcastic clapping here...]
Matt Stoller at MyDD has a blistering post blasting the Senate Dems for their craveness -- too afraid to do the right thing when it mattered, yet wanting the credit all the same:
Think about it for a moment. John Kerry called for a filibuster from Switzerland two hours after it became public that there were not enough votes for a filibuster.
Indeed. Talking about craveness, I see that from across the aisle, Mr. Chafee has finally decided to join us.
Look, guys. In kindergarten, you'd get a gold star sticker just for trying. But after that, the goal is to actually accomplish something, m'kay?
