GEE! LOOK! IT'S THE FILIBUSTER!

Our compliments to the Gang of 14 Senators that devised that great agreement just 48 hours ago.
As you recall, the agreement in question was to end judicial nominee filibustering. Or to be more precise, folks, future filibusters would be invoked by the Democrats only in extrordinary situations.
Granted, John Bolton is not a judicial nominee. He only wants to work for President Bush up at the U.N. in New York.
Still, when it came time for a vote to confirm Bolton today (5/26), guess what?
Yes!
The Dems apparently found it to be an extraordinary circumstance and they embarked on……yes, you are right…..a filibuster!
This demonstrates in an extraordinary way how durable agreements are with left wingers.
Even the moon waits 28 days to be full again. But when it comes to filibusters, 48 hours is all it takes for Harry Reid & Company to fill up.
Stand by, folks.
Will Bolton ever get a vote? Will cloture be invoked next week? Will Bill Frist take off his prom gown and turn into a majority leader? Will President Bush stop smiling and extolling the virtues of compromise and bi-partisanship long enough to finally kick ass the way a Conservative Republican should?
Will Robert Byrd have enough shakes in him to deliver another round of filibustering Byrdisms? Will Ted Kennedy leave the bars long enough to join the fray? Will Lincoln Chaffee become a true moderate and abstain when a Bolton vote is taken?
Tune in next week, folks, for the answers to these and other earth shaking questions.
God! If only Bolton were in charge of the Senate so he could yell and scream and fire the whole bunch
