"If the bill remains what it is now, I will not be able to support a cloture motion before final passage. Therefore I will try to stop the passage of the bill."—Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Lieberman), telling reporters today that he will filibuster any healthcare bill he doesn't like, and he doesn't like any healthcare bill with a public option.
Btw, Lieberman says he objects on the grounds that "I think a lot of people may think that the public option is free. It's not. It's going to cost the taxpayers." Well, thanks for assuming we're all fucking stupid, Joe. Good thing we've got you to stand in the way of a public option and save us from ourselves.
