I love that Al Franken denied Joe Lieberman the opportunity to ramble on for an additional minute. And I love even more that Walnuts McCain went batshiz insane over it all:
Guess I should have given you a pee alert. Woops.
Joe is making it rain in the VIP lounge with his homie Aetna CEO Ronald A. Williams and your tax dollars.

Jake:

Just asking…

Franken is showing he has no class. “If I disagree with you then I will not give you common a common courtesy.”
What a child.
He’s a one termer for sure.

Actually, Martin, you’re full of shit.

If the manner in which McCain responded was “batshiz” then I’m Santa Claus. Nice spin, Jake.
So, when’s your date with Jack Conway?

Well, if Norm Coleman hadn’t given up his challenge to the election that Franken stole, Franken might not have been seated by now. Coleman should have had the testicular fortitude to challenge that election as high as he possibly could, because what the Democrats tried and failed to do in Florida in 2000 they succeeded in doing in Minnesota in 2008-09.

Nice spin?
Franken was directed to do what he did – and he did so with other senators throughout the day.
And John McCain ADMITTED such and ADMITTED he was talking out of hand about something his old ass was clueless on.

It doesn’t matter, we’re going to get the piece of crap bill that they have been keeping secret for past month and vote it on at 1:00AM on Sunday evening. By payoff, hook or crook, the thing is going to be passed and only time will show if the Tea party crowd was correct in their dire warnings and scare tactics, or the Dems were correct in their optimistic pronouncements of reduced costs and increased coverage.
We can point fingers all we want, but the lack of transparency in the process is really disturbing and the only excuse is that they don’t want to public to see what’s in the plan before they hurry up and vote on it.
The Republicans will say it’s because the Democrats are trying to hide the facts and the Democrats will say they are hiding the facts of the bill so they can’t be distorted by the Republicans.
Regardless, we should have ample time to read and understand the final bill before it is voted on. Don’t give me this damn “making sausage” BS if the final product ends up being head cheese, instead of sausage.
The fact is that 100 Senators are voting to end debate at 1:00 AM this morning on a bill that they have no idea what exactly the hell is in it.
It’s disappointing that both parties don;t grow the hell up and work together to get something decent done. Instead both parties are acting like a couple in the middle of a divorce who could care less about destroying the lives of their kids, as long as they can beat or get a leg up on the other spouse.
