Elephants Never Forg..uh...For...

AcademicElephant again.

In a post "Nancy Pelosi's 100 Hours Meet Reality," Mr. Elephant writes:
Reality crashed the party today in the form of the razor-thin democrat majority in the senate, which could not muster the votes necessary to pass the house (minimum wage) bill without attaching related tax cuts to moderate the burden of this wage increase on small business owners.

Actually, there were enough votes--54--to pass the bill, but not enough to invoke cloture and end debate, denying all 100 Senators an opportunity to engage in an "up or down vote."

Republicans used to have a word for this. Fil...Filla...Filibus...

UPDATE: Mr. Elephant is not amused. He forwards this link via email.

UPDATE 2: Haw! I neglected to read all the way through the link Mr. Elephant sends--until now. He links to a comment by Redstate enforcer Strieff who ends with this:
Moe was charitable enough to merely ask for an apology. I think it's your turn to become a contributor on this website

...which links to us! Thanks, fellows! Send me your tired, your huddled masses...

An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.
