Do You Know Who Max Baucus REALLY Works For?

If you haven't heard of the Wyden Amendment for health care reform then I invite you to first go here to read Ezra Klein's take on what happened last night when it was taken off the table.

If you do know or have now read what the amendment, now watch these two videos to see and hear why Max Baucus said he is against it. I have to warn you though, if you have high blood pressure have your pills handy, and if you have expensive items around you I suggest you move away from them lest you accidentally lash out and break them.

Whip It Whip It Real Hard

Fresh off Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying the CIA lied to her yesterday, today Senator Ron Wyden upped the ante when he said the CIA broke the law in not keeping Congress informed.



CIA director Leon Panetta released a statement today that many cable news talking heads are reading as a refutation of Speaker Pelosi. But it looks like more and more Democrats are now speaking out against how the CIA handled their briefings of the torture program. It might be time for Panetta to just lay low since he wasn't in charge back when all of this went down. Otherwise he is attaching his credibility to actions taken by Bush Admininstration officials and that might just end his career as director quite prematurely.
