Did she really say that?

Today, I turned on the Randi Rhodes show just in time to hear Randi mention that President Bush claimed that his energy policy didn't pass because of Democratic Filibusters. Randi responded to this idea by saying the following:

"You need 60 votes for a filibuster. And we [Democrats] only have 49 votes."


Is she serious?

You need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster: 41 Senators are sufficient to prevent anything from coming to a vote.
