No Boehner’s For You!

Having given up the fight to save America from medical socialism, Senate Republicans have opted instead to the final round into a new full-employment act for political ad makers. To finalize the reconciliation bill, Dems have to pass it through the process with zero amendments. With no real chance to stop anything Senate Republicans have decided to come up with the most preposterous amendments possible and then pocket the Dems’ no votes for the 30 second political ads this fall. Our favorite so far? Sen. Coburn’s amendment to ban health care exchanges from providing Viagra to sex offenders. Brian Beutler has the story.
