Not too long ago, Rachel Maddow guest hosted for Al Franken when something happened in New Orleans. Now, one is a popular MSNBC host, the other a U.S. senator. Franken aimed to not take the "60 votes" thing too seriously. Sane enough, especially with Specter as the 59th. And, why should it be, with the House and presidency controlled by Democrats? A minority check is nice, but at some point it's a bit much, especially if it is taken too far, and people don't quite notice.
