Frustrated by their inability to get the press to focus on an agenda being crafted in secret, GOPers get Alabama's 83-year-old Senior Combover to shut down press access.

Even the Senate's hungriest media whore likes it better when he's in control:

"I want you to have access to us, inform your readers, inform your viewers what we're trying to do," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of the most media-friendly senators, told reporters in the Senate subway. But "of all the problems in America, y'all are pretty down on the chain."

Shelby, who signals he is lying by talking, says no change has been made to existing rules.

Naw, he just invented a new one.
