Obama and Biden Denounce Themselves

Associated Press has this report (emphasis added):
To more effectively oppose Supreme Court nominees in the future, Democrats need to convince the public "their values are at stake" rather than use stalling tactics to try to thwart the president, said a senator who opposes Samuel Alito's confirmation.... "There is an over-reliance on the part of Democrats for procedural maneuvers," he told ABC's "This Week"....Obama joined some Democrats... in expressing his unhappiness with the filibuster bid....Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., said he, too, would SUPPORT the filibuster attempt but agreed that it was not particularly wise.
So, Senators Obama and Biden say they're unhappy with unwise stalling tactics, and then they support those tactics. As Justice Jackson once wrote, the most fitting precedent is that of Julia who, "whispering 'I will ne'er consent,' --- consented." Fortunately, it seems like the Senate will not consent to a filibuster and ensuing crisis.
Doesn't this Associated Press report seem like something Scrappleface might write?
