92. I remember Reid being pissed at Kerry for using the F-word
The Democratic establishment didn't have a stomach for a filibuster, then Kerry uttered the one word they didn't want to hear.

Hillary did not support Kerry's filibuster, the critical vote on the Alito nomination, but she cast a meaningless vote afterwards against Alito. The cloture vote was the key vote on the Alito nomination. Kerry and Feingold voted against cloture, to keep the filibuster going.
