Democrats Cave on Cheney’s Funding
By: Nicole Belle @ 5:30 PM - PDT Cliff Schecter:

The White House scored a win Thursday on Capitol Hill after a moderate Senate Democrat broke with his party to restore funding for Vice President Dick Cheney’s office.

The 15-14 vote in the Senate Appropriations Committee came after the House last month narrowly rejected a companion bid to punish Cheney in a continuing battle over whether he is complying with national security disclosure rules.

Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., switched his position from a subcommittee vote Tuesday.

I think Sen. Nelson deserves a piece of all of our minds…for crying out loud, how tiresome to see the lack of spine in these guys.

UPDATE: TPM has a story on yet another spineless vote that Nelson is likely to make.
