Senate R's dishonor fallen colleague

The Senate Republican's aren't about to let their House counterparts take all the credit for outrageous conduct, as the Seattle Times reports...

"WASHINGTON — Marking the one-year anniversary of Paul Wellstone's death yesterday, Democratic senators failed to win passage of one of the late senator's top crusades: legislation to mandate equal health-insurance coverage for mental illnesses.

Although the bill has the support of two-thirds of the Senate, Republicans blocked an effort to pass the bill by unanimous consent..."

That's right, even though the legislation has plenty of support for passage, the Republican's thought that the chance to dishonor Paul Wellstone's memory was too good to pass up.

Have you no shame, Senators? At long last, have you no shame?
