He almost thought of Twisting an Arm!

A little better, but as usual, will there actually be a real effort? Lame attempts at correcting gigantic tactical errors -- which is giving the Administration a huge benefit of the doubt based on the evidence at hand -- are not enough.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) committed Wednesday night to a full vote that would repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the U.S. military's ban on openly gay servicemembers.

But again, will there be follow through, or just the usual, like this?

Earlier Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama considers the repeal "a priority." He undercut that statement by adding that Obama has not lobbied key swing senators for support, but a later statement by spokesman Shin Inouye claimed that the administration has been reaching out to "dozens" of senators from both parties over the past week.

Yeah, that's real inspiring.
