The Feingold Resolution and the Sound of Silence
Looks like both political parties are in disarray...
Dana Milbank writes about it in the Washington Post:
"Democratic senators, filing in for their weekly caucus lunch yesterday, looked as if they'd seen a ghost."
"I haven't read it," demurred Barack Obama (Ill.)."
"I just don't have enough information," protested Ben Nelson (Neb.). "I really can't right now," John Kerry (Mass.) said as he hurried past a knot of reporters -- an excuse that fell apart when Kerry was forced into an awkward wait as Capitol Police stopped an aide at the magnetometer."
"Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) brushed past the press pack, shaking her head and waving her hand over her shoulder. When an errant food cart blocked her entrance to the meeting room, she tried to hide from reporters behind the 4-foot-11 Barbara Mikulski (Md.)."
"Ask her after lunch," offered Clinton's spokesman, Philippe Reines. But Clinton, with most of her colleagues, fled the lunch out a back door as if escaping a fire."
