In his weekly Cheers & Jeers column, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune give jeers to Idaho Republican Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch:

To steal a line from former Vice President Spiro Agnew (who himself borrowed it from speechwriter William Safire), they have become "nattering nabobs of negativism" who act like a pair of bricks plopped onto the "no" button. Case in point: Wednesday's budget vote. Here's a modest compromise - worked out by House Republican Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Senate Democrat Patty Murray of Washington -to avoid more Washington, D.C., dysfunction while trimming the deficit by $23 billion during the next decade. Even a majority of House Republicans - including Idaho's Mike Simpson - went along.In the Senate, the story was different. Only because a handful of Republicans - among them John McCain of Arizona and Orrin Hatch of Utah - joined Democrats did the deal survive a filibuster attempt. Then the measure passed 64 to 36.

Question: Have Crapo and Risch become nattering nabobs of negativity?
