Holy Joe and Health Care

MANIFESTO

Senator Sanctimony has come under quite a bit of pressure after his threat to filibuster the Senate Democrats' health care proposal.

Yesterday's Courant pointed out Holy Joe's intransigence in an editorial.

Joe Conason points out that the senator's wife has worked for a large pharmaceutical company.

And, a few nights ago, Glenn Greenwald noted to Rachel Maddow that 68% of Connecticut's citizens back a public health option (Only 21% don't.), but the state's junior senator refuses to acknowledge them.
