It’s becoming more and more apparent that the strategy for ramming Obamacare through — in spite of widespread public disapproval of both the legislation and the various procedural tricks being used to get around opposition to it; in spite of the fact that a Republican just took over Ted Kennedy’s seat on the promise of voting against it; in spite of pretty much any fact that tries to penetrate Nancy Pelosi’s Botox-hardened head — is to make everybody so sick of the whole thing that they just say, “Whatever! Just shut up about it already!”
It’s weird, I thought the Constitution was supposed to protect against this sort of abuse of power. Maybe that’s why the Dems are trying to get around that musty, outdated old piece of parchment?
Well, thanks, Nancy, for ruining what looks to be a lovely weekend. We’re having a brief, beautiful burst of spring here in DC, but everybody except Ezra Klein readers will be filled with dread over what’ll happen if this piece of crap passes.
But hey, maybe we’re wrong and these utopian dreams will come to pass after all. Maybe everybody will get everything they want, and it’ll be cheaper and more efficient than what we have now, and a rainbow will reach down from the sky and the most adorable puppies you’ve ever seen will slide down it and be your friends forever, and if you don’t think so you should just SHUT THE F*** UP, RACIST.
If you can even stand all this crap anymore, check the main page for the latest news on this looming disaster. I can’t bear to look.
P.S. David Harsanyi: “The Democratic Party believes so deeply in the will of the American people that it may courageously not vote on a bill that it couldn’t pass.”
