Update 3:20pm Eastern. See my new post on Pete StarkRavingMad. These people can’t contain themselves. And let’s stop the delusion that the Starks are the fringe. They are the center of the nutroots-i-fied Democrat Party.

Shocker! Not a word in the NYTimes coverage of the override vote failure about Stark’s remarks.

Nothing in the latest WaPo story, either!

Because, you know, Democrats debasing the president and dragging the debate into the sewer on the House floor is just not news.

Update 1:52pm Eastern. While the Dems continue Kiddie Kabuki Theater (”HEEELP THE CHILDREN! SUFFER THE CHILDREN!!”), the GOP moves forward.

As I noted last night, they’ll unveil their SCHIP alternative at 3pm Eastern today.

Update 1:15pm Eastern. The veto override fails, falls short of two-thirds majority, 273-156. The roll will be here.

FYI: You will be interested to know that Nancy Pelosi’s closing speech did not mention a single word about the Frost family.

Also: All the poster families the Democrats used as human shields remain covered by S-CHIP–just as they did before this vote and just as they did before the president’s veto.

Here’s the wire report on the override failure: Article Continues Here
