The award for most misleading headline on today’s Iraq vote goes to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, whose website leads with “Filibuster Fails to Force Iraq Vote.”

Whoa. Wrong on so many levels.

We were just kicking that one around amongst ourselves. Greg Sargent pointed out that it’s a twofer: “The Dems filibustered, and they failed at it. They are filibustering losers.”

Just in case all the bamboozling has you confused, it was the Republicans who were threatening to filibuster to thwart a vote on withdrawing from Iraq. Rinse and repeat.
