I've now forgotten all about that time I laughed when you said you invented the paperclip, asshat:
The No. 3 Republican in the Senate, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, who attended one session with the president, recalled that in the 1960s, when he was a Congressional aide, Democrats and Republicans worked together on civil rights. He said he saw no possibility of a bipartisan health bill.Posted by Nastinchka at November 5, 2009 06:07 PM"White House officials don't want one or don't know how to do one," Mr. Alexander said.
If Lamar et al are trying to demonstrate that they can produce a plan, I assume it's by means of performance art in killing the existing plan and not having a replacement. Is it a riff on traditional themes of self-reliance?
