Ben Nelson to Henry McMaster: 'Call off the dogs'
Politico ^ | January 1, 2010 | ALEX ISENSTADT

Posted on 01/01/2010 1:38:39 PM PST by maggief

Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) reached out Thursday evening to South Carolina GOP Attorney General Henry McMaster, the leader of a group of 13 Republican state attorneys general who are threatening to file suit against the Senate health care bill, and urged him to forgo any legal action, POLITICO has learned.

According to a copy of a memo sent by McMaster’s chief of staff to other GOP state attorneys general detailing the call, Nelson asked McMaster to “call off the dogs,” a reference to recent threats by the state AGs to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a Medicaid provision in the bill that benefits Nebraska at the expense of other states.

No.

Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter’d with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry ‘Havoc,’ and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

In Vanessa’s case, it could also be that was a good career move for her at the time, since she was an unknown and Feldman was a hot property in the late ‘80s. And yup, absolutely agree about tats on women, it’s gross and defacement (and ain’t something you can just remove without it leaving a scar). Megan Fox has also had some surgery in addition to those dreadful tats, so she doesn’t look nearly as good as she previously did (and she ain’t on my page, either).

HMMM so if they extend the same deal to the other states doesn’t that raise the price of the bill upwards of trillions of dollars? Tell me again how this is going to bring down the deficiet?

Good point on Vanessa.

I just hate the tats. It really is mutilation. My buddy wanted to set me up with his cousin a few years back. We went on one date, she had tats all over the place, which was too bad because she had a SMOKING, SMOKING HOT body. I’m talking 9.5/10. The tats ruined it for me. Oh and she had the toungue stud too.

What else has M. Fox had done? Nose? Chest looks real.

9.5 out of 10 ? Damn, that is just wrong ! Funny thing is, I don’t necessarily mind piercings on women, because they can always take ‘em out, the hole closes up, no fuss, no muss, no long term scars like tats. I actually think a belly piercing can be nice, so long as the girl ain’t a fat slob with a muffin top. A friend of my former’s had one of those and she was a fat slob, I saw it and almost tossed my cookies.

As for Miss Fox, I think she has had some work done to her nose and chest. I saw the pre-op pics and thought she was far cuter (with freckles and all that, I think freckles are cute).

Compare for yourself, she looks “plastic” now:

And it’s idiotic: it makes no sense. The underlying reality is that the whole cost of this eye-poppingly expensive Federal domination of healthcare will be borne by the suffering taxpayers, one way or another, and NONE of us can afford it.

Nelson’s “solution” is like saying the starving Irish washerwomen can survive by taking in each other’s laundry.

Ah, there you are Mr. Nelson.
Best that you do not concern yourself with mere dogs…

Nelson begs the fundamental question: who let the dogs out?

Yes.

And Nelson is from a most WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL STATE.

He let them down; he let ALL of us down; he sold-OUT; he blewit.

.....and wait until the legal challenges begin.

My wish would be that all the AGs would respond by each filing in their respective states a felony charge against Nelson something along the lines of “unlawful attempt to persuade a State Official from performing lawful duties.”

McMaster to Nelson:

“F’off”

Strongly worded brief to follow.

Man I am loving this.

Do Cornhuskers still admire Nelson, or do they even know what he did?
