Latest rumor from Bullshit Town: Sens. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are going to shut down the Senate if they don't get their way on the FOIA exemption for the Bush-era detainee abuse photographs. (Roll Call - $).
"We’re not going to do any more business in the Senate," Graham said. "Nothing’s going forward until we get this right."
If the provision is eliminated, Lieberman and Graham said they would vote against the supplemental and any attempts to bring debate on the measure to a close. Graham predicted that most, if not all, of the 40 Senate Republicans would do the same, and Lieberman said he would be reaching out to Democrats on the issue as well. That could be enough to filibuster the supplemental measure on the Senate floor, because 60 votes are needed to end debate on a bill.
So, Joe Lieberman is going to filibuster war spending? Fantastic! Everyone send him a pizza!
Who does he think he's punishing here?
Hell, dude. If you filibuster the war money, I'll join Connecticut for Lieberman!
