Pass it in the dark of night. Yeah that looks real transparent. Looks like what Jim Wright used to do until he got ousted. U do remember Jim Wright don’t u.

Nothing in this process has been transparent and I don't expect it will suddenly become so.
I don't even know what bill Boehner is about to pass or not but the more the battle the less chance of a deal and the bonus is that if Reid rejects anything then he owns the “default” (whatever that means).
