Name That Hypocrite

Can you guess who said this in 1998?

"We owe it to Americans across the country to give these nominees a vote. If our Republican colleagues don't like them, vote against them. But give them a vote."

If you guessed Sen. Ted (the swimmer) Kennedy, you'd be correct. Do you think he still believes this? I'm trying to remember the last time he urged his colleagues to give President Bush's nominees a vote.

You might find a few other hypocrites in this list:

In 1995, Democratic Senators Bingaman, Boxer, Feingold, Harkin, Kennedy, Kerry, Lautenberg, Lieberman and Sarbanes all voted to end the filibuster.
