I won't go into many details since others have done it much better (AMERICAblog, as always is at the top of the list). Crooks and Liars has the video of both Harry Reid closing the Senate as well as Bill Frist freaking out in response.
As Ed Henry pointed out on CNN, Bill Frist is not exactly one to talk about "Senate protocol", as he actively campaigned against Democratic leader Tom Daschle in 2004. And he is also under investigation as to whether or not he had too much knowledge about the shares of company stock he held in his family's company and whether or not inside information was used when he sold off his shares not long before the stock dropped
I will just say that it is about time that the Democrats are doing something to be taken seriously. Republican backlash is inevitable, but I think that the American people will appreciate the fact that this took some real balls to do. I also like the fact that this was done over a serious issue that everyone should be concerned with. Are the Republicans against national security? They sure do seem to be since they aren't taking Plamegate very seriously. It shouldn't take something like this to get answers, but maybe this will serve as a wake-up call that the Democrats are mad as hell and they aren't going to take it anymore.
Today I am proud to be a Democrat.
