      If Matthews would curb his pie-hole...

      Maybe we could hear what the guy had to say.

      Yeah! This is an outrage! Those dirty, sneaky Dems. The Republican party would never do such a thing. Oh wait...

        Nope, that nuclear option was a cleverly planted liberal idea made to look like a republican plan! So was keeping voting open past the deadline and twisting people's arms to make them change their vote on a bill! Republicans are totally innocent...

          Republicans would never use reconciliation!!

          Oh, wait, unless they wanted to lower taxes on millionaires and health care CEOs, then it's okay.

      Anthony Weiner takes it to the hoop. This won't get him far but he really stands out. Watch this.

      I want to get health care passed as much as everyone else, but Mathews is right. Reconciliation would be too divisive for this country; the American people did not elect democrat majorities to blow up the rules of the senate.
