One small upside of healthcare debate to me is the unmasking of the Blue Dogs

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

Their cover has been completely and totally blown - You're either for the people or for the insurance companies. I think it's great that their fund raising is in the toilet and I hope they all meet the fate of Joe Lieberman in 2006 in their own primaries. Yes, I am talking about you - Evan and Mary and Blanche and Ben and Max and all the rest of youse in both houses!

Please go find some real Democrats out there to run against them!

1. They take turns siding with the republicans. I believe that on many bills

leadership allows most dems to vote progressively but there are always a few that torpedo the end result. Don't know if it applies in this case on health care, but the pattern is there over the last 9 years.

So the next big bill that comes through, other conservative dems will be unmasked and these here will be redeemed.

2. Interesting. Good cop bad cop in rotation. Has allowed them to stay under the radar until now. nt

3. Thanks to Harry Reid. the cockroaches are exposed to the light

including that POS Evan Bayh who said yesterday he would filibuster public option. Bayh's whore of a wife sits on the board of Wellpoint, a major health insurer.
