our Junior Senator, Scott Brown for making possible the passage of real health care reform last night in the House of Representatives.
Humble Elias firmly believes that if Martha Coakley had been elected back in January, likely the powers that be in congress would have interpreted the vote as a license to dicker, dither and delay. Instead once the sting wore off, everyone saddled up and rode hell for leather.
And the democrats were assisted to an incalculable degree by Scott Brown's camera-hogging antics, he'd dash to the TV news crews like a rat with the runs, eager to bellow his ignorance of the health care bill and full of impotent bluster.
The Holy Nimbus of Success that Glow of Destiny that clung to him faded pretty damn quite and left in clear view what is in the end an undistinguished freeper loudmouth.
I'm gonna love watching Scott Brown stump the state in 2012 trying to convince the formerly uninsured that they were all much better off with nothing.

Otherwise, congrats to Speaker Pelosi, she has finally lobed herself up into the Tip O'Neill orbit, which is a good place to be sez Humble Elias.
And congrats to the President, as of last night he did what FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton could not...Made health care a right not a privilege or condition of work.
He won, we won....Somewhere in Heaven Teddy Kennedy is pouring the drinks with a smile.
