"You Guys Are Pathetic"

As my co-blogger noted earlier, House Republicans staged a vote on immediate withdrawal from Iraq yesterday in order to defeat it before Thanksgiving break (403-3).

In a rather obscure play, Democrats decided to vote with the Republicans in order to "drain [the vote] of significance."

Vote with them and avoid going on the record. Yeah, that'll show 'em.
