Re: Election 2010: Teabaggin' the Ds & Rs

Still going. Bernie Sanders is 7 hours into his filibuster of the tax deal.

I don't think it's going to do much, but I admire him for actually filibustering instead of lobbing threats to do so.

ETA fix the word "lobbing". He was talking about lobbyists at the time.

ETA2: I read that the last actual filibuster was in 1992. All the others were threats. Huh.
