Harry's deal

Today's Snarky Citation from Obama-Reid Health Scam

“ O:\MAL\MAL09852.xml [file 6 of 9] S.L.C. 1731 9 ‘‘(16) MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS OR MIS10 REPRESENTATION OF MATERIAL FACTS.—Any indi11 vidual or entity that knowingly makes or causes to 12 be made any false statement, omission, or misrepre13 sentation of a material fact 1733 $50,000 for each false 19 statement or misrepresentation of a 20 material fact ”

Okay, it's a push, but you have to admit it takes more than a little chutzpah to use this language - MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS OR MISREPRESENTATION OF MATERIAL FACTS - the broad application of  which would bankrupt and jail everyone involved with this bill.   But here's the interesting part.  We're all prolly aware of this by now. “ The 2,074-page Senate health care bill would take 34 hours to read cover to cover -- and that's just what Sen. Tom Coburn wants done on the Senate floor. The Oklahoma Republican has threatened to invoke parliamentary rules to force the Senate clerk (or more likely, a team of clerks) to read the massive bill before the full Senate begins formal debate on the legislation. ” But this part is new, to me anyway. “ What's even more interesting is that Senate Rule XIV (paragraph 2) states that every bill and joint resolution "shall receive three readings prior to its passage." ” Plus, it will take 60 votes to send the bill to the floor for a vote.  That means even the defection of a single Democrat kills it.   Forty-one words:  L-I-E-B-E-R-M-A-N.
