Fatal Loose Lips

60 Votes.
Retiring Vermont Senator Judd Gregg was quoted in The Hill arguing in a sour fashion that the Democrats would pass some version of healthcare by moaning about 60 votes in the Senate and then constructing them afterall. The bill then will go to Conference, where all the progressive cooking by Mrs. Pelosi will be ladled into the Senate’s cautious cake mix, and then Hary Reid will find another 60 votes to pass the public option lite. Gregg offered no evidence for his measure, just craggy and disconsolate fatalism.
I half-believed the Gregg scenario until I spied a (above) peculiar performance by Senate Democratic whip Dick Durbin.
“It has to pass in the Senate this year…. I, I, want it to…”
There are only six weeks left in the year. Loose lips like this sinks ships.
