I enjoyed Dana Milbank's comic article, but one thing raised my eyebrows a little:

The debate itself may lack suspense, but the looming showdown is the only game in town on Capitol Hill this week. It has shut down Senate committees, ended any voting on the Senate floor and turned the House of Representatives into an asterisk.

"It?!" The "debate" didn't shut the committees down, Democrats shut the committees down, as part of their grand plan of retaliation to prevent the Senate from doing "the people's business."
