Congressional All-Stars Kick Off Health Care Throwdown!

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

Yessss! Today is the Super Bowl of health care reform, with members of Congress trying to come up with a game plan before tonight, when President Obama will run a Hail Mary so the GOP can punt.

Here's Sen. Max Baucus, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, arriving on Capitol Hill this morning with his own health care proposal, which does include a mandate (yay/boo) and does not include a public option (yay/boo). Now the rest of Baucus's "bipartisan" "Group of Six" have until 10 a.m. to think of something better and draw it on the chalkboard. Hurry! Clock's ticking!

While we wait in suspense, without any awesome ads to entertain us even, let's read the tea leaves of Chuck Grassley's Twitter, since Sen. Grassley is our most favorite "bipartisan" member of this "Group of Six." Hmm, strangely quiet on the Twitter front, Chuck, with the last update coming four days ago

Saw Ia U beat my school 17/16. UNI played best I proud of my team Pres Mason came up 22pts short of her prediction 4 victory. She good Prez

I'm no football expert, but I'm pretty sure this means that as long as President Obama only comes up 22 points short of his prediction for health care reform, he will still be a "good Prez" in Chuck Grassley's opinion. We'll find out for sure in an hour!

  1. Grassley sounds like Alex Karras as "Mongo" in Blazing Saddles. "Grassley only pwn in game of life." *

    *No. Copyedit moose is not on vaca. I meant "pwn."
