More on the Weird Bum's Rush on the Mukasey Vote

You remember that the vote on Mukasey was rushed, about 1/2 hour's notice before the start of debate.

Well, now we have a reason. It appears that Reid cut a deal with teh Republicans to allow for a military funding bill to proceed without money for Iraq and Afghanistan.

I guess that they think that this will provide cover while trying to get the troops out of Iraq. It's won't. With George W. Bush at 26%, worse than Nixon, the Bush dogs are still going to fold like wet broccoli when he makes vague noises about "not supporting the troops".

They still don't get it. Any opposition to Bush on any issue is both the right thing to do and a political win.
