What Senate Partisanship?

After a day of patting each other on the back for the civility and compromising nature of the Senate, Democrats are back to their old obstructionist ways by filibustering a vote to confirm John Bolton.

After we all had a good cry with Sen. Voinovich (R-OH) over "Mr. Meanie" (that's Bolton), senators voted 56-42 to end debate and vote - 4 votes short of the 60 required (3 "Red state" Democrats voted with the GOP, while Chafee and Voinovich voted with Dems).

Harry Reid: "We're not here to filibuster Bolton..."

Frist: "It certainly sounds like a filibuster. It quacks like a filibuster. It does disappoint me...We are going to come back to this issue...but I think what America has just seen is an engagement of another period of obstruction by the other side...once again, another filibuster..."
