“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language,” Baucus said. “We hire experts.” (Umm, sir, we hired you.)What? It's just statutory language, but it's a "good start"? And several years from now, we'll all have an epiphany and realize it isn't quite as bad as we thought?
“It’s not perfect, nothing’s perfect, but I’m telling you, ma’am, it’s a good start,” Baucus said. “Mark my words, several years from now you’re going to look back and say, ‘eh, maybe it isn’t so bad.’”
“Don’t think so,” she replied.
Alrighty then. I'll check back with you . . . in several years.

He's a moron.
there are so many reasons why his statements makes no sense. he didnt want to waste his time reading it, but he knows that it's a good start. or at least that "it isn't so bad".
what a prize.
How nice of him to insult the American taxpayers' intelligence by thinking we won't see through that one at all.
And, yes...we hired him. We do expect him to read it.
But goodness forbid we expect him to do his job...what's wrong with us?
Obviously, not reading the details of legislation being promoted by the President himself is now an accepted way of doing things in Washington.
Seems like the dumbing down of America has finally reached the cream of the crop.
‘eh, maybe it isn’t so bad.’
Kind of reminds me of what Clayton Williams Jr. joked about that got his ass beaten by Ann Richards.
I weep some more.
