Billmon: Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree

I sold you and you sold me . . .

And it looks like it may be time once again for the religious wackos to be sold down the river by their GOP "allies":

Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), a leading advocate of the “nuclear option” to end the Democrats’ filibuster of judicial nominees, is privately arguing for a delay in the face of adverse internal party polls.

And by "adverse," the Republicans apparently mean: Even our own mothers will hate us if we go to the mat on this one.
