Health care's fate is in the hands of WHO?!1 Joementum/BAUCUS
Edited on Sun Dec-13-09 12:24 PM by UTUSN
Joementum walked FIVE MILES in near freezing temperatures on a Saturday to come through on the 60 for the budget bill. Will he do something nearly positive IN THE END for health care?!1

And this BAUCUS, who held us hostage over what health care MAY be, HIS permission to us, is this creepy dude?!1

Lieberman Walks to Senate to Overcome GOP Filibuster on $1.1 Trillion Spending Bill


.... Democratic leaders had to keep the vote open for more than an hour to reach the 60 votes.

The last "aye" came from Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut Independent, who is Jewish and does not use automobiles on Saturday for religious reasons.

Lieberman could be seen on the Senate floor in his long coat and scarf, after walking to work.

The senator lives nearly five miles from the Senate and temperatures were near freezing in Washington this morning. ....

Baucus’ Girlfriend Helped Arrange His Separation


By: emptywheel

Okay, this is just creepy, ... ....

Mind you, nothing about this development (unlike the fact that MaxTax nominated his girlfriend to be US Attorney and that he brought her on a trip to Dubai) is ethically scandalous. MaxTax just had his then State Director and now girlfriend handle discussions with the lawyers drawing up his separation agreement with his then wife.

Indeed, at one level this proves the point Baucus’ office has been making–that Baucus’ relationship with Hanes (which reportedly started in June 2008) had nothing to do with his split with his ex-wife.

But it is all rather, um, cozy.

Update: It gets creepier. Baucus’ then wife, Wanda, didn’t know that he was scheming on a separation at the time. ....

Which I guess means Baucus’ then State Director and now girlfriend knew that he was splitting before his then wife did.

GRAMMAR help needed!1 "whom" should be object of preposition, "of whom," but isn't the deep structure, "Who (nominative) is the fate..." (who is the subject?) --- or is the whole preposition, "Of WHOM is the fate..." the subject?!1
