Compromise enters Republican vocabulary.

Senator Mitch McConnell reacts to yesterday’s veto of the war funding bill.

Tim Grieve zings Sen. McConnell at Salon.com.

Sen. McConnell introduces legislation to protect, not the horsies, but the horsies’ wealthy owners. (They are so darn crafty when it comes to naming things, aren’t they?)

UPDATE:Janet Patton, in Lexington’s Herald-Leader, reports the following:

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has re-introduced a multimillion-dollar tax break for racehorse owners that could cost taxpayers more than a quarter of a billion dollars over five years…Similar legislation introduced in 2005 would have cut horse owners’ taxes by an estimated $18 million over one year and up to $267 million over five years, according to McConnell’s office. Congressional officials have not yet produced an estimate for 2007
