Left Side of the Moon

From MSNBC:

The vote, on an amendment to a 2008 spending bill for the Treasury Department and executive branch agencies, was defeated 217-209.

“We are pleased to see a bipartisan majority reject this political stunt,” said Cheney spokeswoman Megan McGinn.

What!?!

217-209…..’bipartisan majority’ – 8 votes…… 217 against versus 209 for – that’s leaning a bit towards “a squeaker.” Rejecting a political stunt – kinda like the one where a CIA agent was ‘outed’ but not really ‘cuz we had no clue she was really Joe Wilson’s wife!’

Or as Digby says this morning:

“If any of the Dem contenders make it, we will have a president who speaks normal English, in complete sentences and responds to questions fluently and with real meaning. I can’t tell you what a relief that will be after these last six years of alien gibberish and bizarre, robotic responses that everyone has been pretending are normal ways of speaking.”

Eggactly!
