(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted on Thursday that none of his Senate colleagues would "have the chance" to read the entire final version of the $790-billion stimulus bill before the bill comes up for a final vote in Congress.

“No, I don’t think anyone will have the chance to [read the entire bill],” Lautenberg told CNSNews.com.

I think Snowe was cocaine.

How is it possible that the rules to have the full bill read before the vote be avoided? I thought the Senate rules were that if a single senator asked to have it read, it must be read.

That would certainly be the democratic thing to do. Is this still a Republic anymore?

This bill is absolutely Marxist and it's being pushed through in a very authoritarian manner.

These are extremely serious warning signs for all Americans.

Being a NJ native, not by choice, I am used to the NJ 'Rats wheeling this rotting, sniveling, quivering, drooling old cadaver up to a microphone to say something, anything, to promote the Communist cause in New Jersey.

This time they got him to actually say something, albeit the usual 'Rat drivel:

“No, I don’t think anyone will have the chance to [read the entire bill],”

Lautenberg can't even read his Gerber food labels, let alone one thousand pages of criminal pork.
