...that assessment did not fit Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, and it was not long before the partisan squabbles came creeping back. Daschle told Bush early on that he was in no hurry to approve the President's judicial nominations--a comment that led Senate G.O.P. leader Trent Lott to pull Dick Cheney aside and say, "That's the real Tom Daschle." Republicans blocked the expensive farm bill Daschle and other farm-state Democrats wanted, and Daschle, in turn, blocked the pro-business economic-stimulus package Bush had backed.

But when the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate, Majority Whip Harry Reid, declares legislative black holes a good thing - "Thank goodness we're here and we're in control of the Senate" - you have to consider the possibility that America will not be getting an economic stimulus...
