Bi-Partisan Senate ObamaCare DOA

For two months the “gang of six” Senators has met almost daily, behind closed doors to, all by themselves, write the thousand page conglomeration of  laws that would tear down and reconstruct 1,300 insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, and VA health care. 

The political-media establishment waited breathlessly, and glorified these six human beings as equal to such a monumental task because they were “bi-partisan.”  Three were registered Democrats and three were registered Republicans, who often voted with the democrats, against the Republicans.

Today was the grand unveiling.  The media compliantly assembled in the designated room and set up cameras for the majestic performance.

But only one of the six, Senator Baucus showed up to tout this stupendous, extra-human achievement.  The other two Democrats and the three Republicans decided they could not support the product they had toiled over for all these weeks.

This development defies all the conventional wisdom in Washington and is, therefore, the best possible news for the rest of us who live in the real world.
