Can Someone Tell The Washington Toast "All" Does Not Mean The Same As "Most"

The Washington Post has this headline from the latest development of Senator Airbus's hostage holds of more than 70 presidential nominees.

Shelby releases holds on Obama nominees

Yayyyyy, everything a-okay, Shelby stopped being the nut that he is publicly by letting it go from the growing heat he was getting.

Um, no:

But as Shelby’s own statement makes clear, he is still holding up some of the military nominations to benefit Airbus.

The purpose of placing numerous holds was to get the White House’s attention on two issues that are critical to our national security – the Air Force’s aerial refueling tanker acquisition and the FBI’s Terrorist Device Analytical Center (TEDAC). With that accomplished, Sen. Shelby has decided to release his holds on all but a few nominees directly related to the Air Force tanker acquisition until the new Request for Proposal is issued. The Air Force tanker acquisition is not an ‘earmark’ as has been reported; it is a competition to replace the Air Force’s aging aerial refueling tanker fleet. Sen. Shelby is not seeking to determine the outcome of the competition; he is seeking to ensure an open, fair and transparent competition that delivers the best equipment to our men and women in uniform. Sen. Shelby is fully justified in his concern given the history and current status of this acquisition. [my emphasis]

And here are the people still having to endure the madness

Terry Yonkers, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment, and Logistics (Nominated August 4, 2009)

Frank Kendall, Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (PDUSD) for Acquisition and Technology (Nominated August 6, 2009)

Erin Conaton, Under Secretary of the Air Force (Nominated November 10, 2009)

Who knows when these people will be left off their hold? Will the White House tell Senator Airbus that he won't get what him and Airbus wants and to end his madness?

All I can say from tonight's news is that in the current world of the Washington Toast newspaper, 67+ means the same as 70+.
