LOL My husband was listening to NPR today...

They were interviewing a Republican Senator (not sure who) about Reid going nuclear. The Republican was blustering on about how awful the whole thing is and how undemocratic and how the American people won't stand for it...you get the idea, the usual talking points. Then he said, "And that's why we're going to win back the Senate in 2014!" And the moderator exclaimed, "Great! So when you do, you'll be able to change it back, riiight? Since it's the right thing to do...?" The Senator was speechless!

My husband said it was hysterical!

Maybe Democrats would have left the rules alone if you weren't being complete dicks about his nominations 24/7.

He seemed reluctant to be there and just wanted to "exit stage-right" after he was zinged.
