and again--where the F is our media on this?

I can't stand this man! I don't know why the people of Nebraska keep sending these hack to Washington. A big part of me hope they continue to suffer for their stupidity!

On a slightly separate note, I want to know how the 51 majority rule got turned into 60? I wish these panty waisted Democrats would change that rule. If you can only have 100% of anything, then 51 is the majority. Where did this bullshit rule come from anyway? We probably couldn't even get all Dems on board for this change. Fuck them! It's a fact that a majority is 51 and that should be the end of it.

Long time lurker...

rox, Ben Nelson is my Senator and I really can't defend his Corporate Wh*ring. However, in 2006 he was the only humane choice for Senate. His Republican opponent was beast of man who fired 1000 people and took a $1 million dollar bonus for doing that while working for Ameritrade. He was actually proud of that fact.

Nelson may be an awful Senator, but no Nebraska Democrats will stand against him. I'd love to see someone primary him, but it will never happen. Better a D than a R, right?

I hereby sentence HasBen HalfNelson to be buried alive in a Nebraska pig sty.

I'd say Conyers is pissed.

I'm getting tired of saving Obama's can in the White House," said Conyers. "I mean, he only won by five votes in the House, and this bill wasn't anything to write home about. The public option is only available, which is the only way you manage cost and get some competition to 1,300 other health insurance companies, the only way he could have got that through is that progressives held their nose and voted for it anyway."

Asked if the president had shown enough leadership in the health care debate, Conyers facetiously wondered why Press would ask the question.

"Of course not, of course not," he said. "You know, holding hands out and beer on Friday nights in the White House and bowing down to every nutty right-wing proposal about health care, and saying on occasion that public options aren't all that important is doing a disservice to the Barack Obama that I first met who was an ardent single-payer enthusiast himself."

...."That is essentially what Rahm Emanuel has said: Just give us anything and we will declare victory," said Conyers.

yikes!

"Nelson may be an awful Senator, but no Nebraska Democrats will stand against him. I'd love to see someone primary him, but it will never happen. Better a D than a R, right?"

You'll have to excuse her Chance. According to her every stupid politician (which every state has btw) means that everyone in that state is a stupid inbred who voted for said stupid politician.

Meantime I keep reading how New Jersey just elected the worst governor ever. Hmmm.. could be wrong, but I believe she said SHE lives there.

Bwahahahahahaha

"I'd say Conyers is pissed."

Yep seems so. Maybe he's uptight and having a bad day because of the investigations going on with his wife.

Or maybe he thinks the president should be a dictator like Bush instead of the mediator he's being and that it's congress' job to write the bills and not the president plus apparently he wasn't listening when the president stated on numerous occasions what he wants/requires in the bill.

Correction:

Or maybe he thinks the president should be a dictator like Bush instead of the mediator he's being and *forgot* that it's congress' job to write the bills and not the president
