The U.S. Senate voted today on a resolution condemning the "General Betray-Us" MoveOn.org ad; it passed 72-25, with 22 Democrats voting for it, to their credit.
Both of South Dakota's senators, Johnson and Thune, voted for the resolution, condemning the pathetic ad.
Here's the text of the resolution:
To express the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq, deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces.
Here are the nays, who apparently think it's cool to show contempt and disrespect for an American general in the middle of a war (not to mention malign his integrity):
