Let me see if I have this straight ... If this lady loses, the health care reform bill ... will die. And the reason it will die ... is because then the Democrats will only have an 18 vote majority in the Senate. Which is more than George W. Bush ever had in the Senate when he did whatever the fuck he wanted to do ...
See, it's not that the Democrats are playing checkers and the Republicans are playing chess. It's that the Republicans are playing chess and the Democrats are in the nurse's office because once again they glued their balls to their thighs.

Yep, an excellent clip and analysis.
Bush got what he wanted with fewer votes, the Dems unable to grow a spine.
What difference does 60 votes make when they've already gutted any REAL reform out of the bill ?
Just rubber-stamping what the Lobbyists wrote.
I'm disgusted with the whole thing. Nothing in the health bill(s) as passed will really affect me one way or the other, and nothing in it will help my friends and family members who are struggling to pay insurance premiums and co-pays and/or those who stuck in dead end jobs to keep their insurance.
And the lady goes down ... choking.
So much for any continuity or 50-state strategy after Rahm Emanuel ran off Howard Dean, and Wonder Boy seems clueless about being in the top spot of his party.
His electoral advantage is now squandered with absolutely nothing to show for it.
I can't decide if I'm more angry or depressed.
