5. Oh man - this would have NEVER happened under LBJ.

I'm a Texas Dem, so I am well familiar with Lyndon and Rayburn (see my sig line)!

He would have gone into caucus, sucked all the air out of the room and let those guys know that voting "aye" on cloture was worse than selling their mothers to a whorehouse - a whorehouse run by republicans!

Ahhhh....I miss the days of colorful old LBJ. He & Rayburn were one helluva an effective team in Congress. He must be spinning in his grave.
