I do find it strangely refreshing that the Republican leadership immediately started threatening filibusters and other wonderful maneuvers in their speeches regarding the changeover.

Hey... isn't that the EXACT same set of tactics the Democrats threatened to use, and were vilified as 'obstructionist' and the like?

Nice to know that assholes run in both Democrat AND Republican flavors.

Christ, this whole thing just makes me even more cynical...
