Liberals in bed with socialists, separatists

At least that's what the headline should be. Instead:

• Liberals outmanoeuvre Tories to ensure budget bill is passed (Globe and Mail)
• HARPER TORIES CAUGHT NAPPING AS BUDGET ADD-ON BILL PASSES IN SNAP VOTE (Bourque.org)
• Budget passes after surprise vote (Canada.com)
• Budget amendment passes in surprise late-night vote (CBC)
• Liberal budget amendments pass (Canoe)
• PETER MACKAY:'ONE BIG, FAT, STINKING LIE' (NealeNews)
• Tories fume after Liberal minority scores coup, forces budget amendment vote (National Post)

Anyway, here's what happened:

Every available Liberal MP was cloistered in the Commons lobby waiting to spring into a vote to cut off debate. The Liberals, the Bloc and New Democrats made extraordinary use of a rule allowing for cutting off debate on the budget if all agreed the Conservatives were being obstructionist.
