The deal of the century goes filibust. Plus: Kinsley's mosquitoes, Collins' electricity, Hillary's Hillary, and much more.

Here's the
Deal
:

p>John McCain has pulled a Jeffords. The Democrats gave up
nothing. They were going to lose the judicial filibuster and all
those judges would have gone through anyway. McCain and his dupes
preserved the filibuster for Democrats. Bill Frist has proven to be
a very poor leader. He should have banned judicial filibusters at
the beginning of the congressional session. He has put us through
an agonizing five months of waiting, and now McCain has filled the
vacuum. It's John McCain's Senate for the next two years. Very bad
news for conservatives.

You either whip a bully straight up or he keeps bullying you. I'm
surprised Prowler bought the insider spin on this ignominious
cave-in by McCain (toady to the press) and the other six wimps
(toadies to McCain). The president should make interim appointments
on each of his senatorially scuttled judicial nominations. He
won't, though; he's never been 100-percent resolute on
anything.

"There is no way this agreement that breaks Democratic obstruction
can be spun any way other than as a victory for Republicans and the
Bush Administration." Oh, really? Wait and see what the advocacy
print and broadcast media will do when they get hold of the story,
should one actually happen.
