Last weekend, the Senate voted on cloture for the Senate version of health care reform, Harry-Care. On principle, enough Democrats and Independents were willing to hold out and stop the bill at cloture. During the day before the vote, the final two Senator gave in and Harry Reid got his votes.
One of the final two Senators was Mary Landrieu from my home state of Louisiana. Not surprisingly, she sold out. She admitted that she was given a $300 million bribe to her state if she would allow cloture. By selling her vote for political favors, she has lost the respect of millions of Americans whose tax money will be confiscated to pay her bribe. Many bloggers are calling her a prostitute.
Mockazine sees a striking coincidence. This week, Mattel toys made news with their new "Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken." The new Ken doll looks like a creepy old pedophile looking for his next victim. What does this have to do with Landrieu? A lot. The way Mockazine sees it, Landrieu is the feckless little girl and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is the creepy old man.
Sugar Daddy Harry Reid says, "Sugar Daddy likes when you
say yes to cloture. Now, will you go all-the-way with my bill?"
