As for the nuclear option, he said, it would "vaporize every bridge in sight -- bipartisan or otherwise."

They've got it all documented. Specifically, they attribute the term "nuclear option" to Trent Lott. <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200504260001" rel="nofollow">http://mediamatters.org/items/200504260001</a> What really sucks, is that the MSM is repeating the lie that it's a Democratic term, AFTER properly attributing it to Lott in the past.

I can't seem to find references to it from before 2003. I can find references to Democratic Senator Harkin's wanting to kill the filibuster after the Democrats became the minority party in the mid-nineties, but that phrase "the nuclear option" doesn't really...um... proliferate until 2003.
