Ever intellectually dishonest and hypocritcal, the same conservative Republicans who have railed against the filibuster for 5 years have now discovered it again. McCain announced this morning that he cannot get the 60 votes at this time to overrule the expected REPUBLICAN filibuster against an immigration bill containing a guest worker program. Bush is helpless to push his party towards such a program, which he claims he wants, at least in front of hispanic audiences.
It just steams me. Will the Democrats jump up and down on the hypocrisy? No, of course not. When your spine is made of jello, it's hard to jump.

Hm. Interesting that AP story doesn't mention the word filibuster at all, instead referring to "parliamentary tactics." Yeesh, give me a break. Well, we on our little blog can make a stink about it, but I don't expect anyone to care.
