According to the sources, Nabors told the story to four Senate Democrats – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, New York’s Chuck Schumer, Washington’s Patty Murray, and Durbin – on October 15, near the end of the shutdown.

Reid then told the story to the entire Senate Democratic caucus, identifying the Republican in question as Texas Rep. Pete Sessions.

It just turns them into liars - and for what? People need to know what people like Sessions are about.

that propels regularly from a Certain Caucus. But it's a bad no-no to call one of your supporters a liar. Doesn't look like it's going to go away. Good. Even better news is, that more of us have your back than you know, PBO and White House Staff.

If the elected representatives act like children, let the world know. I doubt if Sessions' cheeks will burn with shame, but I am glad that such an immature man doesn't represent me. I'm stuck with Johnson, who is a johnson...
