It may be easy for me to say, not being a senator stuck in Washington on Christmas Eve, but I think causing a spectacle like this will only make the Democrats (and Reid in particular) look even worse than they’re already looking. I’m optimistic that it backfires—I think at least once Democrat is going to say no to this nonsense. There’s no way Ben Nelson, Byron Dorgan, Kent Conrad, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln, and Mark Pryor can vote for this and think they’ll ever get reelected. Even if it does pass the Senate, after conference committee, it may just need a simple majority in the Senate (which would then be a lot easier to achieve, even with a number of Democrats voting no), passing in the House would be a lot more difficult, given the difficulty of making a bill that will please both progressives and Blue Dogs. My fear is that a large number of Democrats will assume their reelection is already doomed and figure they might as well go ahead and vote for the thing.

As things continue to look grim for ObamaGreidCare, they look grim for the Copenhagen summit as well:

Policy-wise, this could be the best Christmas in a long time! Or at least the most pleasantly surprising one. The ~~fascists~~ hard-core leftists are getting their well-deserved lumps… of coal.

These Grinch posts don’t seem like your usual style. More like something Bruce would post.

I love them, by the way. (Although Reid doesn’t deserve the honor of being compared to the Grinch.)
