“Oh, I can’t think about this now! I’ll go crazy if I do! I’ll think about it tomorrow. But I must think about it. I must think about it. What is there to do? What is there that matters?”

—Scarlett O’Hara, Gone With the Wind

Like the calculating Southern belle in Margaret Mitchell’s classic novel, who endeavored to ignore the realities and consequences of war, Sen. Blanche Lincoln is bent on making the rest of us believe she is the most reluctant participant in the most epic of legislative wars.

Lincoln, the last holdout, didn’t want to be on the record as the one Democrat who killed Sen. Harry Reid’s legislation tonight. Though voting to move the debate forward, she left herself little wiggle room for the future. As indicated in her floor speech and comment to reporters today, she said would not vote in favor of a final bill that contained a public option and would even support a filibuster.

So, she goes home with the family for Thanksgiving. Beyond that, nothing really changes.

Hey Blanche! How does it feel when you wake up in the morning knowing you have sold you soul to satan! How can you live with yourself knowing you’ve been in bed with Hairy Reid! Ho

[Shady]

So what you are saying is that you have no courage, no guts, and blindly will follow your Leader into the abyss and destroy this Nation? Not a legacy I would want to have. Ah, but you were bought. That changes everything. No further comment is needed.

You will lose your job as soon as possible.

And how will Mary Landrieu's bragging go down with ANYONE outside of Louisiana. She didn't want to be known as a cheap prostitute, but a prostitute none the less.

We've always thought politicians were whores, but I don't recall any of them bragging about it.

So Blanche....What goodies did Arkansas get in exchange for what was left of your soul?
More than 50 mil? Less than 50 mil?
Is it bigger than a breadbox?
Is it shovel ready?

Lincoln, the last holdout, didn’t want to be on the record as the one Democrat who killed Sen. Harry Reid’s legislation tonight.

Yeah, I guess that is much worse than being known as a coward.

[randita]

Who’s Lincoln’s likely challenger in 2010? Any frontrunner?

[IbJensen]

Goodbye Blanche.

Though voting to move the debate forward, she left herself little wiggle room for the future.

She lies.

And how will Mary Landrieu's bragging go down with ANYONE outside of Louisiana.

I think even voters INSIDE Louisiana will be appalled at her whoring in Babylon. Will the LameStream Media in La report her comments?

[sport]

That is a given. She is a Democrat.

All is not doom and gloom,Ted Kennedy has gone one one more day with taking a drink.

[Scanian]

Hairy???

The horror! The horror!

“Scarlet” is getting exactly what she deserves. One thing shis Scarlet can forget about is the “kindness of strangers.” That is gone forever, at least in Arkansas.

[Coldwater Creek]

Wonder what her husband who’s a doctor is saying about her conundrum?

[Venturer]

When the bill comes in their constituents will be throwing rocks at them.

Lincoln (and others) don’t care if they get ousted by the voters....DNC golden parachutes will compensate them for their sacrifices.

DNC is willing to take a short term hit because in the long term (if PO, Cap n trade, and Immigration get passed), they will come back to power with new voters and a public dependent upon government handouts.
