1. I remember when this whole issue started

I was listening to rush, and he was saying "don't worry about this. we'll get around it. it'll be a matter of days. we'll just change the rules if we have to." It was disgusting. But I'm damn glad he was wrong. Again.

Now the rightwingnuts are pissed at the Senate Republicans for being wimpy.

2. This is Big!

For more reasons than the surface one. The Dems stood up to the bullies and low and behold, THEY BACKED THE FUCK DOWN!!! There's a lesson their for those paying attention....

3. And what lesson would that be?

When we fight, we win.

Somebody might want to pass that sentiment along to Joe Lieberman. Or give him a new voter registration card so he can follow his heart and become the Republican he dreams George W. Bush can be.

"Republicans have tried making the plight of the Honduran-born Mr. Estrada into a rallying cry in Hispanic communities.
But most Hispanics, polling has found, have not heard of the filibuster and many of those who had were confusing Mr. Estrada with actor Erik Estrada, who was on the 1970s television police drama "CHiPS" and is now a popular Spanish-language soap opera star."

Erik Estrada for D.C. Circuit Court, anyone? :)
