What Arlen Said…

Holy shit on a stick. I never thought I’d ever write that headline, but there it is. I think you’ll agree that it was time:

“I believe we ought to pass comprehensive health care reform and we ought to do it now and there is a way to do it,” [Arlen] Specter said. “I provided the 60th vote. We passed it in the Senate. Let the House accept it, simultaneously with a bill to make certain changes through reconciliation and 50 votes. There will be no disagreement about taking away the giveaway to Nebraska and Louisiana and the other inappropriate measures but let’s move ahead and let’s move ahead now.”

Bill passing fever! Catch it!

    The same guy who wanders onto stage when it’s not his turn and gets told to leave. Wow, color me impressed Arlen!

    What I’m wondering is how he went from being someone who was going to block everything and anything to someone firmly in the middle of the caucus.

    Not sure Dr. Squid, but you might be thinking of Lieberman. I know I sometimes get them confused as they’re both kind of droopy and have similar whiny voices.

  • Dr. Squid

    No, Lieberman went the opposite way, from the middle (well, right end) of the caucus to the No Way No How crowd.

    When hes right, hes right.
