Bullshit Part Deux

I'm really sick of this crap. This time it's regarding FISA and telecom immunity.

Please. More, better Democrats:

News of the agreement came after Republicans in the House managed to use parliamentary tactics to delay a vote on a surveillance bill that would have placed more restrictions on the administration. There was a lot of partisan bickering, but it all ended when Democrats pulled their bill after Republicans introduced a measure "that on its face asked lawmakers to declare where they stood on stopping Osama bin Laden," notes the NYT. Democrats feared they'd be labeled soft on terror (what else is new?), so the leadership pulled a major bill before a scheduled vote for the first time since taking control of Congress. As the Post makes clear, it all amounted to a victory for Bush and an embarrassment for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The Congressional Democratic leadership continues to grab it's ankles for the Republicans.

Update: Maybe Chris Dodd can break out with this issue? It would certainly cause me to give the guy a second look.
