I just saw on twitter that Patty Murray is trending. I checked things out and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) has been tapped as co-chairwoman for the Catfood Comission V2.
From the Seattle PI
"More significant to me is who (Reid) didn't pick," said Keith Hennessey, a longtime former Senate GOP aide, citing Reid's snub of Conrad, who's also part of a bipartisan Senate "Gang of Six" on the budget. "He didn't pick someone who might have been bipartisan." Hennessey is now a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
Bipartisan? Did he really mention bipartisanship? Seriously? A Republican thinking their side will ever actually work with the Dems?
From NY Times
The leader, Senator Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, also appointed two other Democratic senators, Max Baucus of Montana and John Kerry of Massachusetts, to the panel.
We have Murray, Kerry and Baucus on the Senate side. Murray and Kerry make me feel a little better.
I think she is back in WA right now. I'm going to have to see if I can find an event and try to talk to her. She needs to know we need higher taxes on the rich and help for the middle and lower classes!
This is my favorite quote from the NY Times
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, called on Mr. Reid to withdraw Mrs. Murray’s name.
“The select committee is no place for someone whose top priority is fund-raising and politics,” Mr. Priebus said.
Ohhhh, that is just tooooo bad isn't it Mr. Priebus! After all, the Repubs never think about politics first!
