Oh please, please, Sen. Graham. If we're really, really good, and do everything exactly the way you want, will you finally let us win one?

What planet do they live on? They're so good at the cognitive dissonance, they can't even tell when they sound like clowns. Gee, I wonder what a Congress where they were less cooperative would look like - Dresden?

At the same time, passing it has its risks too. While a bill-signing ceremony in the Rose Garden would provide at least a short-term boost to a beleaguered president, Republicans have made clear that the legislative procedure Democrats are using to avoid another filibuster would so anger them that they would not cooperate on other major initiatives this year.

“If they jam through health care,” said Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, then Democrats will have “poisoned the well” on other issues. He was interviewed Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

An immigration proposal he has been working on with Senator Charles Schumer, Democrat of New York, would likely fall victim to the worsened environment, he said.
