The Hill is reporting that momentum is building in the Senate in favor of the Bush tax deal.
Well, of course it is. Obama has the Democrats completely cornered.

I’m not sure what it is exactly, but does anyone see some irony in the fact that the tax deal is still tagged with “W’s” name. Must drive the left cockoo bananas.
I think they can’t believe they’re voting to approve the Bush tax cuts.
Oops, cuckoo
