Reid has just agreed to avoid a GOP-threatened government shutdown by abandoning the Omnibus Bill and going to a zombie Continuing Resolution, which will put the final budget decision in the hands of the new Congress with a Republican-controlled House. It’s very obvious that he should have called the bluff of the GOP and maneuvered them into deciding whether or not to shut down the government on Saturday, the date that current funding would have run out. He blew it again, Merry Christmas.
