So, Maine Senator Susan Collins was on ABC’s “This Week” this morning, talking about the P.O.S. AHCA being brought to the floor of our P.O.S. Senate Floor by the P.O.S. Mitch McConnell after it gets scored by the CBO tomorrow.
The consensus seems to be that Collins has one of the two get out of jail free cards that McConnell has to pass out on the P.O.S. bill, but what with Murkowski of Alaska, Dean Heller from Nevada, Bill Cassidy, Rob Portman and Shelley Capito scrambling to hide behind that same skimpy fig leaf, the shrubbery may not be sufficient for political cover.
And that’s not to mention the four festering turds who think this P.O.S. bill doesn’t do enough to bend over and bone the poor and disabled.
But most everyone says that the P.O.S. is gonna pass, so let’s not argue about that.
Anyway Stephanopoulos asks her if no is really a no, or is she just fucking with us, and Collins says she’s waiting for the CBO score to decide whether she’s gonna grab some of that leaf and leave the other poor fuckers exposed and then...
“She also pushed back on the White House’s line that the bill would not result in Medicaid cuts.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Friday insisted that nobody currently enrolled in Medicaid would be “affected in any way,” and senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway made similar comments on Sunday.
“These are not cuts to Medicaid,” Conway said earlier on “This Week.”
Asked to respond to Conway’s comments, Collins said: “I respectfully disagree with her analysis.”
That’s fancy Senate talk for KellyAnne’s a lying P.O.S.
But, then, we already knew that.
Still, it’s nice hearing it from the (R) Senator from Maine.
