The story is a bit surreal, but goes something like this:
1) Republicans claim to hate government spending.
2) President Obama withholds some funding original earmarked for defense projects in Alabama.
3) In protest, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) puts a “blanket hold” on all Obama nominees, demanding more money for his state.
4) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declines to comment.
Proving that it’s tough to be a fiscal conservative and sincere.

It would appear the necessary conditions for being a Republican are:
An ability to hold completely contradictory positions at the same time;
A complete lack of shame and self awareness;
Boundless hypocrisy and entitlement.
No wonder Shelby joined them.
My guess is Reid capitulates without reservation and then is completely confounded by the fact that he is out of a job this year.
