The GOP, notably Mitch McConnell were embarrassed enough at the revelations of their earmarks to pull support entirely from the Democrat's obscene, pork laden spending bill...and it's being tabled.
And it's lucky they did..otherwise a lot of them would have been booted out next election.
It remains to be seen what happens with the rest of the Lame Duck agenda. START looks stopped for now, and the DREAM backdoor amnesty act lacks to the 60 votes to avoid a filibuster.
The repeal of Don't Ask , Don't Tell (DADT), on the other hand, looks like it might squeak through.
