Patty Murray on TV

Democratic Senator Patty Murray appeared on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight with Republian Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison to debate the Iraq war funding bill and the president's veto. Given several opportunities to suggest a way for Congress to proceed following the veto, Murray had nothing to offer. Instead she insisted that the president had to accept what Democrats offer, apparently without conditions. If Murray spoke for her party then there will be no war funding legislation, which is the equivalent of denying funding.
