Did anyone just listen to Santorum on Fox? He gave this convoluted

[Maraya1969]

explanation of why this will not become law. Something about reconciliation rules are not allowed to change social security or maybe pigs were flying over his head I can't tell.

I figured I'd turn on Fox to see if their heads were exploding and I get that there is no bill ?????? Can someone explain this? I hope he is just lying.

1. "I hope he is just lying" ---The key here is that his lips were moving

2. There are two major steps remaining.....

.... the House passes the Senate bill, the President signs it.

At that point, we have a NEW law .... the downside is the law contains all of the icky stuff (Nebraska deal etc) that the Senate is going to try to fix via reconciliation. That is where things get dicey.

But the WORST thing that happen at this point is that we have a new law that needs some work.

3. If Santorum's lips are moving...

you can bet they're lying.
