Used Up and Thrown Away . . . 0
. . . like a rake’s old conquest of last week. From Kiko’s House:
While the bill, which passed the House in September, could be inserted into the already top-heavy tax-cut bill that may yet be passed before the 111th Congress adjourns, the Republican obstructionism — based on a stated concern that the $7.4 billion in medical care was too dear — betrayed an immorality that makes a mockery of claims of fiscal responsibility, and the bill will be deader than a doornail when the 112th Congress convenes in January.
When the dew was no longer on the rose,
when votes no longer came from the pose,
support for the rescuers, well, away it goes.
