And once again, the hypocrisy.

When you yell and yell about the extra spending in a bill, complain about the pork and are given the option to remove it, you shouldn’t decide not to then decry how much is there still.

That’s what the Republican party did, though. When given the option to help pass the reconciliation measures to remove excess spending from the Senate’s health reform bill, they chose to say “No! We will not approve anything!” despite having submitted those measures themselves. Now they’re going to run on complaints of pork and that they want to repeal the bill.

Good luck with that. It’ll take a 2/3 majority in both chambers to override the presidential veto, and convincing everyone that it’s a good thing that you’re voting to allow their health care to be taken away, and to make them forget you voted to waste money on the cornhusker kickback.

What’s the over under on Glenn Beck committing suicide on air at this point anyway, maybe in a pact with Michelle Bachmann? It’s starting to seem more and more likely.
