As lawmakers struggled over an omnibus, Congress passes a temporary spending measure to keep the government open through Wednesday

As the left wing moonbats continue to kick and whine and can’t get their way because even some Democrats can’t stomach a bill with 9000+ earmarks, including pig odor research, Congress passes a temporary “SPENDING” measure [from the Washington Times]:

Congress Friday passed a temporary spending measure to keep the government open through Wednesday as lawmakers struggled over an omnibus appropriations bill for the remainder of the fiscal year.

The House passed the bill by a 328-50 vote; the Senate acted by unanimous voice vote. President Barack Obama was slated to sign the measure later Friday.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, said the chamber would continue to work through a large number of proposed amendments to the $410 billion spending package, with hopes of wrapping up work by Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Reid acknowledged Thursday night he was one vote short of the 60 he needs to cut off debate and allow a final roll-call vote.
