Reid: "In modern math, that's a pretty good deal"

Harry Reid, leader of the Senate Democrats, has repeatedly used a contextless comparison between Bush's confirmed judges and those who were denied a confirmation vote to demonstrate that his party is not being unreasonable. We've approved 204 and only turned down 10, he says.

Those numbers are, of course, rather useless without some sort of historical perspective, which TAE's Tara Ross has plenty of. The article is quite old (August), but is well worth your time if you missed it before, and more pertinent now that Reid's soundbite is getting more attention.
