Give 'Em Hell, Harry!

Ah, I love it!!
from Yahoo on the stupid move to ban filibusters on judiciary nominations:

Reid on Monday also repeated his assertion that President Bush promised him that the White House would stay out of the Senate's fight over the filibuster rule. "He either misspoke or was not being honest with me a week ago last Wednesday when he said they would not be getting involved," Reid said.

Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday he would vote to ban the judicial filibuster if the Senate deadlocks, and called the Democrats' filibuster threats "inexcusable."

Senate Judiciary chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said on CNN Sunday that it was "really not helpful — and that's a very mild word — for Senator Reid to say that the president was not honest."

But Reid said there was no doubt what Bush meant when he said he would not get involved in the Senate fight. "It's not hard to understand when someone tells you: 'I'm not getting involved. That's a Senate problem, I'm not getting involved,'" Reid said. It's "a little hard to interpret that any other way."

Good for him. Don't let goofy W. weasel his way out of this one. Make him stand by his word or, God only knows where we'll end up. With W.'s penchant for doublespeak, backtracking and embellishing, "not getting involved" might actually mean walking in and pushing the voting buttons for the Senators if we're not careful.
