You can see the video at Hot Air.

Meanwhile, TPM Muckraker reports that the number of Senators denying that they’re behind the “secret hold” has risen to 58.

The circle continues to close! Some readers wonder what happens if the secret-hold Senator just lies about it? Well, if we get to 100 denials, it’s going to be pretty embarrassing for the Senate, which has already had about all the embarrassment it should want in an election year. But I don’t think that will happen.

UPDATE: Tom Maguire has more.
