Looks like there is a deal in the Senate. A win is a win is a win.

Tiny sliver of liberal zombies get it - that's a start. Recent article in Time Mag says Sully's military training made the crucial difference in the miracle on the Hudon:

Hudson 'Miracle' Pilot Gets Applause on Broadway

Deseret News, 2009-02-08

By Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Weeks after starring in his own story of bravery and heroism, the pilot who safely ditched his jetliner in the Hudson River received a standing ovation Saturday from the audience at a Broadway performance of "South Pacific."

At the end of the classic revival, the show's stars introduced Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger as the pilot who set down the disabled plane within reach of rescue boats last month, saving the lives of all 155 people on US Airways Flight 1549.

"It could have been tragic, but it wasn't. It became a miracle," said Kelli O'Hara, who plays the show's lead female character, Nellie Forbush. "We've never been more honored than to perform for you, Captain."
