Like how Baucus is handling healthcare? Now throwing elbows to gain control of Climate Change bill

[blm]

from Boxer and Kerry. Feckless Reid always gives Baucus whatever he wants, and even Kennedy couldn't stop Reid from abetting Baucus on healthcare.

For liberal Democrats unhappy with the way Max Baucus is handling health care reform, here’s another dose of bad news: He’s got his hands on climate and energy, too.

Behind closed doors, Sen. Baucus has been staking his claim on major aspects of the climate bill, including financing for a cap-and-trade system.

His power play could put Baucus at the helm of the Obama administration’s domestic agenda, giving an unpredictable Montana Democrat control over legislative proposals that could define the Democratic Party for years to come.

“He’s swung from liberal to conservative,” said Montana pollster Craig Wilson, noting Baucus’s support of the 2001 Bush tax cuts and the 2003 Medicare prescription drug bill. “He’s been a bit of an unpredictable vote for the Democrats.”

It would be up to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to iron out any differences and craft all the committees’ provisions into one omnibus bill.
