Grassley starting to look like a weather vane trying to find which way the wind blows

[rurallib]

Now he is trying to say he was instrumental to the health insurance bill.
Spose his staff burned ALL those videos?
Hey Chuck, we got copies!

1. If the wind blows against Dems they don't care the direction.

Maddow clip of Grassley and Hatch being on both sides of mandates to block health care. If it was a movie it would be "Say Anything"

2. Huh? What the hell?

In our local fish wrap, we have this:

If the healthcare reform bill is so good for the people, why won’t President Barack Obama sign up for it?

That’s a question raised by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, during his weekly telephone news conference. Grassley has proposed legislation to make these reforms apply to the president, vice president and other top Washington leaders.

“All these people remain untouched by the reforms that have taken effect for the rest of the country,” Grassley said. “If my amendment isn’t passed, then President Obama will not live under the Obama healthcare reforms, and neither will the congressional staff, who are most responsible for helping to write this overhaul. That sends a message to the people at the grassroots that the health reforms are good enough for you, but not for us.”

Nevertheless, his amendment will probably be voted down, he added.

And it was late Wednesday evening.

“As a result, President Obama will not have to live under the Obama healthcare reforms, and neither will the congressional staff who helped to write the overhaul,” Grassley reiterated through his office.

This “double standard” has been going on for decades, Grassley said.

Which is ironic/hypocritical since it was just about a year ago that he berated an Iowan with his "go work for the Federal government" comment for better healthcare.

3. I am really beginning to believe Grassley is senile.

4. Can't argue with that. I also have to wonder about the mental condition of his supporters.

Seems to be a lot of feeble mindedness going around.
