Spinning faster then a gyro on the ISS

One has to love Ron Fournier's ultra-high speed spin in this little ditty.

"With no sign of irony, Republicans demanded that Alito get a vote in the Senate — something they denied Miers."


What lovely balderdash. You have to make it to the confirmation process to get a vote. She was not denied a vote. She would not have been denied a vote. She pulled out becuase she was going to get a vote. The problem is the vote would have been no. There was no filibuster threat. there was no one saying they were going to do everything they could to prevent a vote. She was simply going to be rejected. To spin it to say the Republicans denied her a vote is about as intellectually challenging as refering to Alito as "Sloppy Seconds" *Cough*CBS'SJohnRobert's*Cough*.

Is it me or is it a requirement that political writers in the main stream be complete idiots? Whatever happened to to trying to report the news and not be the news. Edward R. Murrow would puke on the likes of John "innuendo" Roberts and Ron Fournier.
