Related Link » Barney Frank Deals Potential Death Blow to ObamacareArguably the most obnoxious Democrat partisan in the House of Representatives, which also includes such outstanding examples of skin-crawling-inducers as Nancy Pelosi, has released a sane statement in the wake of Scott Brown's victory in Mass. When pigs have flown, I am honor-bound to acknowledge it, much as I am inclined to think it a desperate attempt to stave-off his own defeat in November.
“I feel strongly that the Democratic majority in Congress must respect the process and make no effort to bypass the electoral results. If Martha Coakley had won, I believe we could have worked out a reasonable compromise between the House and Senate health care bills. But since Scott Brown has won and the Republicans now have 41 votes in the Senate, that approach is no longer appropriate. I am hopeful that some Republican Senators will be willing to discuss a revised version of health care reform because I do not think that the country would be well-served by the health care status quo. But our respect for democratic procedures must rule out any effort to pass a health care bill as if the Massachusetts election had not happened. Going forward, I hope there will be a serious effort to change the Senate rule which means that 59 votes are not enough to pass major legislation, but those are the rules by which the health care bill was considered, and it would be wrong to change them in the middle of the process.”

UPDATE: Hold on; one of the flying pigs just crashed back to stasis earth:
Rep. Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, blamed the voters’ anger on former President George W. Bush, who he said “drove our economy into a ditch and tried to run away from the accident.”Will someone please explain how that "evil" Dubya, who, as every sophisticated Demorat will attest is incapable of uttering a comprehensible sentence, manages to mastermind every inconvenient calamity that befalls said Demorats?
