Blanket holds
How about this one? And hey! Look who it was!
Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., is increasing pressure to have one of his aides confirmed to a top post at the federal agency that will decide the Yucca Mountain Project.
Reid confirmed Monday that he will put a blanket hold on all of President Bush's nominees for executive branch positions except for judges and defense appointees.
He said he will hold up nominees and selected bills until his nuclear waste advise, Gregory Jaczko, can be confirmed to join the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Jonathan Chait should stop going to stupid people for his information. But because he went to a stupid person, the meme will be broadcast far and wide that nobody has EVER DONE THIS BEFORE until a Republican did it.
