Let's review.Enzi, who spoke while leaving the Capitol on Wednesday night, echoed Grassley’s desire for more time before he’d agree to a deal.
“We have huge parts that have not been discussed yet. We have other parts that we asked questions on that we haven’t gotten answer back yet. I don’t know how we make decisions on those parts — they’re pretty big issues,” Enzi said.
“You can’t say you got to do it in a week, you got to do it in a month,” he said. “You got to do it in the amount of time it takes.”
Enzi, a soft-spoken conservative, was furious about headlines Wednesday morning that suggested he was close to reaching a deal with the Democrats.
“I felt my reputation was in danger,” he said.
He issued a statement batting down the stories and insisted any deal he might ultimately sign onto would have to be preserved by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, and Reid when it is merged with other more liberal legislation in the Senate and House.
“I’m not interested in lending credibility to disaster,” Enzi said.
Mike Enzi represents the least number of Americans in the Senate as Senator from Wyoming.
He is in the minority party where the majority has a filibuster-proof 60 votes in the Senate.
He is now making demands that his legislation defines the entire bill.
Somebody please explain to me what in the name of Kal-El, son of Jor-El, is going on here, and why Harry Reid's response is not "And Mike Enzi can walk back to Wyoming and suck off a mountain goat?" Anyone?
I can explain it, but my explanation is that the Democrats are a bunch of useless, greedy, corporate whores. So, if anyone has a better explanation, I'm all ears.
[UPDATE 4:13 PM] Well, Harry Reid says he can count to 60...but he still needs Republican support for the bill. We "can't do it without Republican support" he says.
Which means the dude obviously can't count to 60. At what point do the Democrats consider jettisoning Reid?
