And so it begins. I guess we know what “frame” the Republicans and the beltway media will be touting for the next two years. DEMOCRATIC OBSTRUCTION. Like Humpty Dumpty, when they use a word it means just what they choose it to mean, neither more nor less. (And that the story is that the Dems acquiesced to help Mary Landrieu is just pathetic.)

McConnell attributed the Democrats’ change of heart to the election.

“The American people have elected a new Republican Majority in the Senate and that has already made a difference,” he said. “I was glad to see that Senate Democrats have finally backed off trying to obstruct construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, the single largest shovel-ready project in America.”
