We We We All the Way Home

Evidently Fox News anchor David Asman, (we'll call him Assman for the purpose of this post) considers himself part of the team.

ASSMAN: You're the chairman of the rules committee. Did Senator [Bill]
Frist [R-TN] have the votes to end the filibuster?

LOTT: I believe that he did. It would have been very close. We would have
probably gotten a 50-50 tie vote, with the vice president breaking the tie.
Perhaps we'd have had 51 before it was over. I do think it's a rule that
should be in place because what the Democrats have been doing is not,
you know, protecting a rule, they have been causing something different.
The filibusters on a serial basis, federal judicial nominees to the
appellate courts, was unprecedented for 214 years. So, to put that rule
in place saying that it only takes 51 votes to confirm these judges was
something I thought we should do. Remember now --

ASSMAN: So, Senator, if we should have done it and if we had the
votes to do it in the Senate -- if you guys in the Republican
Party did -- then why did you need a compromise?

LOTT: Well, you know, I would argue that we probably should have gone
forward with the vote, all things considered.

Gosh, and I thought Fox News was fair and balanced. Who knew?
