Frist Wants to Push Censure Issue Down Dems Throats

Drudge is reporting that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, feeling a little frisky after yesterday's collapse of Russ Feingold's censure motion, is looking to force the Dems into more censure talk:

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist plans to push Democrats for a vote of censure against President Bush!

After facing down Senator Russ Feingold's censure bill on Monday and seeing Democrats of all ranks fold, Frist thinks it's time to call Democrats on their antics, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"He pushed them to the mat today, and they blinked," said one Frist associate. "He dared them to vote, and Democrat Leader Harry Reid looked like he was going to be sick as he said 'No.'''

Frist is going to continue to dare Democrats to vote on censuring the President.

"When it comes to intercepting phone calls from Tora Bora to Topeka, Frist thinks Senate Democrats have made a huge blunder, and he will lead the charge to make Democrats put up or shut up on censure," the top insider claimed.

This is a battle of '08 president wannabes, so each side is trying to make points with their base. Feingold may have made points with the lefties, but he put the rest of the Dems in a precarious position with the moderates.
