Ron Christie, former Cheney aide and future cartoon character, was just on MSNBC and was asked to discuss the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act which just passed. He said something along the lines of "Oh, this is a great moment that all Americans can get around, a bill that enjoyed bipartisan support and really goes past the same interparty wars."
Yeah, except for the fact that the bill passed 61-36, with 5 of 41 Republicans (Murkowski, Hutchison, Specter, Collins, and Snowe) voting to pass it. Of course, instead of a "dude... wait what?" from MSNBC's Contessa Brewer, she just glossed over the "error" and praised the fact that the U.S. could come together around a common cause.
