Break out the smelling salts:

With Republican boycotting the proceedin...
Bill Frist never had 60 votes. Bill Frist never cared. Republicans ran the Senate as if they owned the place, even when enjoying razor-thin majorities.
Yet when Democrats took the chamber, the first thing Harry Reid did was complain that he couldn...
It looks like the kids at Politico decided to hold a contest to see who could write the most idiotic, non-story of the year. Ken Vogel won:
