Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Math
Headline: Senate again refuses to confirm Bolton. According to the crack mathematical theorists at the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the 38 Senators who voted against cloiture--the end of the debate, and not actually for or against Bolton's appointment--is enough to cast the action as though the entire Senate had refused to confirm Bolton.

To express this algebraically:

38%=100%


Compare and contrast this to any action of conservative legislators or leaders, whose mere majority election or decision does not give a mandate for conservatives to speak for all members of a given group.

Update: Apparently, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune has the same mathematicians: Bolton nomination again blocked by Senate
