from last night:

"At 6:42pm Hume said that 40 Senators "have now voted to keep the filibuster against Bolton going" & the "All-Stars" (MKondracke, CKrauthammer, JBirnbaum) started in. Kondracke said the "buzz on the Hill" is that Bush "might recess appoint" Bolton, which would be a "big slap at" Dems in the Senate, but Bush will say it was the Dems "who broke comity." Hume showed the letter from Biden & Dodd, & Birnbaum tried to joke that "only in Washington" is a filibuster not a filibuster, noting that after this "grand compromise" the "era of good feeling lasted 3 days." Krauthammer said this "tells us the great agreement was phony" because the Dems "have no ideas on these issues ... nothing to offer ... they are obstructionists." There was more discussion of the documents . Kondracke said the Dems "hope these documents will be explosive" & characterized the request as "fishing." Hume picked up that theme, asking if the Dems want to "get evidence to destroy the nomination." Krauthammer sneered that the demand to see the docs is an "instument of blackmail." Kondracke pointed out that it's been "done by both sides for years." Hume quickly avoided that, saying there's a "vast array of charges" against Bolton, a "lot of testimony" & asking whether the evidence supported the case against him. Birnbaum dismissed it all as a disagreement about "how to deal with the UN", saying the Dems want a "softer stance" while GOPs want a "harder edge."
