This is getting like The Jerry Springer Show, only in Congress. Well, I guess that isn't too much of a stretch.
REID SHOCK: KENNEDY DEATH 'GOING TO HELP US'
Politicians using death to pass yet another unconstitutional bill
Nancy Pelosi’s office reportedly sent an email to reporters at around 2:30 a.m. on August 26 just hours after Senator Kennedy’s death.
“Ted Kennedy’s dream of quality health care for all Americans will be made real this year because of his leadership and his inspiration.”
South Carolina Rep. and house majority whip James Clyburn also issued a statement
“As we move forward with health reform legislation, his absence will be palpable. But let us use his inspirational words as our guide, to rise to our best ideals and finally provide decent quality health care to all Americans as a fundamental right, not a privilege.”
Al Gore said “Ted would want nothing more than for his colleagues to continue his life’s work and to make real his dream of quality health care for all Americans.”
The alleged former grand wizard of the kkk Senator Robert Byrd said
“In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American.”
