VOICE VOTE!!!?!!?!
The Senate approved the $87 billion aid package. By a voice vote. The vote went FIVE TO ONE. NINETY-FOUR ABSTENTIONS. Not addressed on CNN.com, or foxnews.com, or msnbc.com. The Daily Show has more in-depth reporting than major news outlets?!
I understand that voice votes happen a lot, the purposes they serve, etc. In this case, the purpose was to allow U.S. Senators to save face. Great. Fucking great.
