SAWYER: ...Senators facing an all-nighter now as Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid vows to filibuster, talking all night to close out all topics besides a
vote on Iraqi troop withdrawals.
That's about as ass-backwards as you can get it, and Sawyer stepped up today and apologized:
SAWYER: OK, I have a quick correction about something I said earlier this week.
I said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was vowing to filibuster on the whole
question of the vote on withdrawing troops from Iraq and it would close out
other issues. In fact, Senator Reid held the all-night debate to protest the
threat of a filibuster from the Republicans on the same proposal. You wrote me.
You were right. I was wrong. I apologize. We'll be back.
That's more than you'll ever get from Judith Miller (and I hope to have more on her later).
