Those damned obstructionists

By Heraclitus

The Liberal Avenger has a good account of an exchange on the Senate floor between Bill Frist, who fulminated against the Democrats for letting politics get in the way of the Senate's important business, and Sen. Harry Reid from Nevada. The pith of Reid's response:

“This Republican Congress has wasted 20 months on horse slaughtering; the Schiavo case, dealing with someone’s personal relationship, which should not even have been before this body; gay marriage; the nuclear option; flag burning; repealing the estate tax,” said Reid. “But they could not find a day for some time to look at the President’s mistakes, missteps, and misconduct, which have hurt American security and plunged Iraq into a civil war — not a day.”
