DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE TIMES TO SOUND LIKE THE NEOCONS:
A Minority to be Reckoned With (The Editors, 2/07/07, National Review Online)
Under Sen. Mitch McConnell, Republicans have quickly gotten the hang of serving in a minority that can successfully frustrate Harry Reid's partisan maneuvering on the war in Iraq. At the conclusion of the Senate's always-confusing filibuster/cloture/motion-to-proceed machinations this week, the New York Times scolded Senator Reid for being outmaneuvered by Senate Republicans and failing in his attempt to get a majority of the Senate on the record in opposition to the troop surge in Iraq.Posted by Orrin Judd at February 8, 2007 7:49 AM
Typical. The Times (and other MSM) had no problem with the minority Dems blocking tax cuts, SS reform, and so forth. But now that the Dems have the majority the GOP are the bad guys for using the same blocking tools.

When prompted by Hewitt as to whom he'd support for President, Jeffrey replied:
"Tom Tancredo"
It'd be funny, if it wasn't so pathetic.
