Rich ("No lubricant this time!" Lowry is saying, "Juan, I like to see things as they are and speak clearly rather than call other people names. . . . I know I said the senate filibuster was a perversion under Bush in May of 2005 and called for Senator Majority Leader Bill Frist to go for the nuclear option. . . You don't have to remind me! . . . But we're no longer not under Bush and last time I checked May 2005 is long past. . . . It's now November 2013 and Obama is president. . . . It's an entirely different story!! . . . See? . . . I'd only be a hypocrite if I had supported the filibuster back then while I condemned it at the same time. . . . What can't you understand about that? . . . Ideologically blind as you are, Juan, that's gotta be clear even to you!!!"

Which links to Lowry's 2005 National Review editorial on the Democratic use of the filibuster and the need for the nuclear option:
