Morning Whip, 4/27/05

Bison corralled in tennis court[*1] .

OK, so this whole judicial nominations thing boils down to: D’s don’t want to vote for the President’s nominees. Somehow, this is news[*2] . Somehow, this gets reported as the D’s offering a compromise to the R’s.
Some compromise: “OK, we’ll only throw a partial temper tantrum if you give us what we want.” Nice.

“We have not even reached May, and already there’s nothing left to say.”
Joe Posnanski on the woeful KC Royals[*3] .

The Airbus A380, a double-decker plane which will dethrone the Boeing 747 as the largest commercial airplane, completes its first flight[*4] .
