Repukes prepare to attack Senate parliamentarian if they don't get their way...
If Senate Republican efforts to carpet bomb the health care reconciliation bill with technical objections fails they'll have basically nothing to show for their last two weeks of rhetorical bluster. And in preparation for that, they're preparing to accuse Senate parliamentarian Alan Frumin of partisanship in the event that he steamrolls their complaints about the package.

"We'll see what the parliamentarian rules, and whether he becomes a player in this exercise or a--truly--a referee," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters at his weekly press conference today.

2. Didn't Trent Lott appoint him?
But hey, if they'd rather fire him and have Joe Biden--THE constitutionally supreme presiding officer--make the decisions, then that's fine by be.

4. They still haven't figured out that when they pull that crap it makes THEM look bad.
But bullies don't have a whole lot of self insight, do they?
