Michelle Malkin tweets:
Reid relents on short term continuing resolution to fund govt. OMNIPORKULUS IS DEAD. For now.
Another tweeter puts it this way:
URGENT URGENT Sen Harry Reid (D-NV) says he won’t force vote on earmark-filled Senate Omnibus budget bill
Reid instead will forge ahead with a short term budget – it means all of those earmarks will not go forward
UPDATE: Jim DeMint tweets:
Reid finally admitted he didn’t have the votes to pass it and is withdrawing Dem pork-filled omnibus.
He adds:
Too embarrassed to read their own spending bill, Dems have agreed to a short-term CR, funding government at current levels without earmarks.
