I was very surprised when reading about the results of the Senate vote on health care.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., initially cast a “no” vote.
The explanation we are given is that he was exhausted – which makes sense considering the amount of all-night negotiations and arm-twisting that he has been doing recently.
It reminds me of a friend of mine who grew up in Boston. By the time I knew her she had been out of Boston long enough to lose the accent. one time I called her early enough in the morning that she was still waking up and her natural Boston accent was prominently on display in her voice. When the defenses are down the truth shines through.
I guess it just goes to show that when his defenses are down even Harry Reid knows that this is a horrible piece of legislation.
