Senate agrees to ‘stimulus-lite’ – if Teddy K votes

The Senate has reportedly negotiated a $780 billion economic stimulus package, but it reportedly could require Ted Kennedy to get off his brain tumor sickbed to vote.

Too bad. I was hoping Harry Reid (D-Ballless) would have junked the rules of the Senate to force passage under simple-majority budget enabling resolution standards.

Meanwhile, Texas Sen. John Cornyn (R-Whack Job) had this bit of idiocy:
Obama “could have had a very, very impressive victory early on,” said Cornyn, who heads the Senate Republican campaign committee. “But this is not turning out to be an impressive victory. it is turning out to be a little bit of a black eye.”

True, Obama self-imposed that black eye to some degree, by naively assuming the Congressional GOP would sing from the Kumbaya hymnal.

But, whack jobs like Cornyn threw the punch.
