Liberal Burblings

Nothing sums up better the visceral hatred in American politics, particularly through the prism of the health care reform debate, than this. Prompted by the, admittedly vague, remarks of Senator Coburn, “Tea parties” have been praying for the death of dear old Senator Robert Byrd. He’s 92 years old and in frail health, and is, one of the 60 votes the Democrats need to prevent filibustering in the US Senate. The mere fact that he has had to be wheeled into the chamber at all hours of the day and night, to get teh votes through, is completely insane. It all comes back to the crazy filibustering rules. As Senator Whitehouse recently warned, there is likely to be a “Day of reckoning” for all this crazy stuff.
