Principles?

We don't need no stinkin' principles.

So sayeth our Democratic congresscritters, as they prepare to fund our excellent Iraq adventure for another year, six months..., well, up until Feckless Leader tells them he wants more money.

Being feisty critters, they didn't just cave in, no sir, they held out for $11B in domestic spending, sure to please their constituents and keep campaign financing rolling along.

And don't forget to count the days until they cave on the FISA bill.
