Today’s Dana Milbank emission makes fun of Code Red, portrays Pelosi as tough and effective, and poo-poohs the notion that real Americans will care about the procedural deals of HCR passage.
Rather than believing that this blind pig suddenly found an ear of corn, my guess is that the Dick Whisperer put his finger to the wind and sensed that HCR is going to pass. Since he always wants to sit at the cool kids’ table in the cafeteria, he’s started to lay the foundation for the inevitable “I saw it coming” piece that will allow him to play reindeer games with the Democrats.
Of course, anybody who relies on Dana Milbank’s view of what’s going to happen in DC is a fool, so keep those calls and letters coming.
