I'm scratching my head, and it isn't the dandruff

So let me get this straight. Lindsey Graham, a Republican, puts a hold on the anti-torture bill, and Harry Reid, a Democrat, honors the hold, so the anti-torture bill is now dead.

Chris Dodd, a Democrat, puts a hold on the FISA amnesty for Telecoms bill, and Harry Reid, a Democrat, refuses to honor the hold, so that bill will go to the floor and will eventually pass.

I'm scratching my head, and it isn't the dandruff.
