Yeah, I know, it's a dog bites man story, but stop me if you've heard this one before...Democratic senator delays health care reform all summer long while negotiating with recalcitrant Republicans on his committee in a dogged effort to craft a "bipartisan" bill both parties can get behind.
After ceding most of the political moment to Town Hall Teabaggers for the entire month of August, said senator finally unveils his chopped-up, pared-down, sliced-and-diced bill -- ostensibly acceptable to moderates in both parties -- but mostly featuring compromises that gave away everything the liberals wanted it to include.
Once the bill was released, every single Republican on the committee said he or she would not, could not and never would vote for it. To their credit, several Democrats on the committee are also voicing displeasure with the measure, noting that it's compromises did indeed giveaway the most of liberal components of the bill. So now, idiot but self-important Montana Democrat Senator Max Baucus stands alone, with a piece of shit bill that no one likes.
It's a laughable, if predictable, punking.
