Baucus: What A Guy! Are We Sure He's Not a Republican?

Carrie Budoff Brown, The Politico:

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) told leading advocates of a government-financed health care system that he made a mistake by not giving their proposals more consideration in the reform debate, according to participants in a meeting Wednesday.

Whoops! His bad!

He also vowed to use the “power of his office” to make sure charges are dropped against about a dozen people who protested after advocates of a government-backed plan were excluded from recent Finance Committee hearings, the participants said.

Shouldn't be much of a trick, in as much that he used the power of the office to get those people charged in the first place. Hello! He's a United-States-freakin'-SENATOR!

I guess the passive voice is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

But single-payer (or even its economy-pack version, public-option) isn't going to be on the table this year, because the process has gone too far down the road, don'tcha know.

Are you paying attention, Montana voters? Just to let you know, Baucus is screwing you, screwing us, and screwing his party.
