The House Speaker was boasting today that Republicans did well, too.

DILATORY FOR MONTH. IT DIDN'T GET ITS WORK DONE. IT HANDED THE PRESIDENT THE UPPER HAND BY WAITING TO GET EVERYTHING DONE UNTIL THE VERY END."
ONCAMERA CLOSE: Mr.Clinton is working hard to convince voters that he is a president to be reckoned with. When Congress passes the budget on Tuesday he can say it's because HE kept up the pressure. If there is progress in the Mideast talks...he can say he played an instrumental role. For a week at least, his biggest victory was pushing "impeachment" off center stage.
