Sen. Russ Feingold's censure resolution for President Bush isn't getting much support from other people who actually have to win elections. Of course, it's a hit at the moonbat-left blogosphere, but stupid, futile gestures are the norm there.

As Texas Sen. John Cornyn notes, Feingold's play for attention distracts from the serious issues:

Democrat co-sponsors of Feingold Resolution: 0

al Qaeda communications intercepted by Feingold Resolution: 0

Terror attacks prevented by Feingold Resolution: 0

And it's not just that Feingold isn't getting co-sponsors for his silly resolution, Democrats realize that it's not good for them if Feingold continues on this track.

Sensing a Democratic misstep, Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) labeled the resolution a "political ploy" and called for an immediate vote, hoping to put Feingold's colleagues in a tough spot. But Democrats invoked Senate rules to postpone action, and it was unclear last night whether Feingold's measure would face a roll call.

Senate Republicans are playing this pretty smart. Like their colleagues in the House who brought a resolution to the floor that would have called for the immediate pullout of all U.S. troops from Iraq a la Democrat Rep. John Murtha, a vote on Feingold's folly would've put Democrats in a tough position -- they would have to take a stand on an issue. That seems to be an anathema to those on the left who continue to snipe at everything Republicans do, but offer no real solutions to anything.
