Kerry's Swiss Miss

Washington Times:

Sen. John Kerry dashed home from the Swiss Alps yesterday to man the barricades of a futile filibuster against Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.
Well before he reached the battlefield, however, Democrats had waved the white flag and agreed that next week's vote to confirm Judge Alito will surely succeed.
"Everyone knows there is not enough votes to support a filibuster," Minority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, several hours before Mr. Kerry arrived.
By midday, Republicans had dubbed Mr. Kerry's international politicking the "Swiss Miss."
White House spokesman Scott McClellan called it a "pretty historic" day.
"This was the first time ever that a senator has called for a filibuster from the slopes of Davos, Switzerland," Mr. McClellan said. "I think even for a senator, it takes some pretty serious yodeling to call for a filibusters from a five-star ski resort in the Swiss Alps."

Clearly Kerry has been wasting too much time reading the Daily Kos instead of this blog.
