No Bitch-Ass-Ness: You'll Get No Money From Me, Mr. Conway

By noreply@blogger.com (Cesspoole)

(Don't know what the hell I'm talking about? Urban up.)

After much anguish, Harry Reid made sure that the public option was in the Senate bill. Give to Harry Reid.

60 House Democrats asked for permission to vote against the House Bill, 20 more than the number that would make the bill fail. The bill passed. Give to Speaker Pelosi and her whip, James Clyburn.

OK, I'll pick up where I left off on the KDP rally liveblog on Saturday...

As for the speeches, there wasn't anything specifically noteworthy. What was of note was that each of the speakers didn't just praise Steve Beshear, but they gushed and gushed about him.
