[PI]: Coleman tried to pass the waiver by attaching it to other health care-related bills. Sometimes objectionswere raised to other provisions in those bill. Other times, colleagues whose own CAH efforts had been defeated voted against his. And then there were colleagues who had promised support but didn’t deliver.
If Sen. Coleman can’t deliver a 4.5 mile waiver so Ah-Gwah-Ching can get a hospital in place with a Republican majority in the Senate, how can Minnesotans expect Smilin’ Norm to get anything done for Minnesota now that he’s in the minority?
When the chips were down, Coleman’s Republican friends deserted him. Coleman noted how many Democrats supported him from the House, yet he still couldn’t get it done. Why? Because on the Senate floor, when the votes come down, he’s weak.
Coleman’s lame excuses in the Pilot-Independent: “If I’d had 20 minutes more, I think we could have passed it.”
“We ran out of time”
“The clock simply ran out.”
You guys are killing me with the Republican photos you are using.
It’s like that sweep n’ mop commercial: “Ya sweep and ya mop.. ya SWEEP and ya MOP!!!” All in black and white and grainy and the lady’s hair is all messed up and it looks hot in the room…
Then a perfectly dressed, made up woman comes on in full color with soothing, soft tones and the sweep n’ mop does the job in mere seconds!!!! compared to the 40000 hours it took with that old out-of-date mop….
