Democrat lashed out at Democrat on Tuesday, interrupting, snubbing and dissing each other before splintering apart over the issue of . . . a public health care option?
After months building up to the moment when the core of President Obama's health care agenda would take center stage on Capitol Hill, Senate Democrats quickly devolved into petty intraparty bickering -- not quietly, in private, but right there in the capacious Room 216 of the Hart Senate Office Building.
"Could you address what your amendment does with regard to the setting of prices?" Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida asked fellow Democrat Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia.
"I will not answer that question," a miffed Mr. Rockefeller said. "I want to focus on my amendment."
"I'm giving you bouquets," the Florida senator said sweetly. "I want you to help me."
"But I want you to focus on this amendment," the West Virginia senator said. "I assume it's going to pass unanimously," he added confidently as Day 5 of the Senate Finance Committee debate opened Tuesday morning.

ready on the right..ready on the left...ready on the firing line......
Will the Distinguished Gentleman from the state of XXXX please shut your pie hole. We are trying to get this ammendment passed unanimously with or without you.
LOL!!!! I crack myself up sometimes.
LOL! Rocky just knew it was to pass unanimously!
Barney prefers a different kind of circle.
I’ve got popcorn. I think this will just get better and better. All the GOP (and the RINOs) need to do is shut up and stay out of the way.
Gets out the popcorn popper and a TON of butter (I dare the democrats to take away my popcorn butter!!!!)...plops a big bowl down on the table...
Help yourself, this is no time to be thinking of diets...this is just getting too good and calls for decadent munchies...and here’s some UNTAXED diet and regular soda...
Now, let the leftist DEMOCRATS continue to be petty slimeballs and try to force an option the people don’t want...and watch the blue dogs panting and huffing to keep their jobs...
And you’re right...republicans just SHUT UP and let them chew each other up...I think we’re on to something here!
ROFL!
The only reason I want the republicans to stay quiet .... is because as imbecilic as they are, they would screw up the one thing that is working for them. a party of Maroons
I’m just waiting for Worhless Mcloser to jump in and try to help the doemocraps iron out their differences.
This is not the end of the public option. More bills will come forward. Must be vigilant.
Yes, I read earlier that Schumer has one coming up that supposedly isn’t as radical, I think anything with a public option is radical.
Oh jeebus, for sure, sombody put a muzzle on McSlime!!! He would do nothing but skrew this up for sure!
I hope they’re using hollow points and automatic weapons. I’d hate to see any of them survive.
Even with automatic weapons it’d be a miracle if they hit anyone!
