14 October 2009: Snowe Job

After months of being wooed, Sen. Olympia Snowe was the only Republican lawmaker who voted in committee yesterday for a Democratic health care bill.  But, quite disingenuously, she told the press that her vote yesterday was her vote yesterday, and that there is no guarantee this is how she will vote again when the bill finally comes up before Congress.  Am I the only one who thinks that Olympia Snowe looks like Margaret Hamilton?  The gangly 62-year-old Senator may be from Maine, but I’m afraid she’s really the Wicked Witch of the West in disguise.  “Surrender, Democrats!”
