Democracy at It's Finest

I hate when I miss a good quote, especially one that is totally moronic. Saw this mentioned at Powerline and several other places.
Mr. Frist said it was the right move. He said that because a majority of senators have voted for drilling in the past, attaching it to another bill is justified.
But Mr. Reid was furious.
"We've become like the House of Commons. Whoever has the most votes wins. It hasn't worked that way in 216 years," he said.
Well, what do you know? Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding it in full context. But then again, out of context is really quite humorous.

Holy moly! All those text books & history books are wrong. I keep reading about those guys voting and the people with the most votes winning. How could so many people have it so wrong for so long...

Schmuck!

That's almost on scale with Teddy the Tick saying (paraphrase) "There's no way the Founders of this country would have wanted the ability to overthrow a government" I'll have to track down the exact quote & keep it handy.
