Ted, > Yes, they did define it

Unlike liberal journalists, I can do math.

They said 42 cloture votes were done up to July 18th. That's 6 1/2 months, or 13 every two months.

With 5 1/2 months left to go, you would only end up with approx. 36 more cloture votes, or 78 total, not the "OMFG" figure of 153 that McClatchy concluded. And that assumes Congress even meets in August, which of course they don't.

But what more should I expect from a left-wing hack who noted on the very same graph, "The longest and most notorious filibusters were against bills on civil rights, voting rights, school busing"? Wow, those evil, racist Republicans!
