Pssst! don't tell anybody, but defense budget passes

Ed Morrissey has the news nobody else thought worth reporting... the dems approved the latest defense budget, including everything requested to fund our troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq:

I had not realized that the Senate passed the Defense Department authorization yesterday until the Standard commented on it this morning. The spending bill passed overwhelmingly, 92-3, with only Robert Byrd, Tom Coburn, and Russ Feingold in opposition. Tellingly, the Democrats running for office from the Senate all managed to miss the vote -- Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Chrsi Dodd, and Joe Biden.

Hmmm. I wonder why dese Dems didn't do dat vote?
