With Us On Everything Except The War

Pachacutec calls them on it:
We’ve been hearing from the Senate leadership since 2006 that Joe Lieberman is “with us on everything but the war.” We asked Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin to offer an example a piece of critical legislation the Senate had passed with Joe Lieberman’s assistance. The role of the Majority Whip is to count caucus votes and enforce party voting discipline.
Senator Durbin pointedly declined to answer the question and characterized it as illegitimate, ultimately putting his hand in front of the camera and asking me to account for my whereabouts and clothing as of three o’clock yesterday afternoon, as an example of – from his perspective – putting someone on the spot unfairly.
I’m not so sure he’s used to answering questions from people who do … journalism.
Putting him on the spot unfairly? If Lieberman is with us on everything except the war, then all Durbin had to do is think of one vote about something other than the war. Surely he should be able to do that in his sleep, right?
I mean, unless it’s total bullshit, of course.
