"Reid cut numerous last-minute deals to get the votes he needed and
powerful Democrats also inserted home-state provisions in a 383-page
package of amendments Reid filed this weekend to the 2,074-page bill.

Among other items, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus,
D-Mont., included a provision allowing residents of the town of Libby,
Mont., who are suffering asbestos-related illnesses from a mining
operation to get Medicare benefits. Nelson won a list of benefits for
Nebraska including a commitment for the federal government to pick up
the full tab of an expansion of Medicaid. And Sen. Christopher Dodd,
D-Conn., who faces a difficult re-election, inserted a $100 million
item for construction of a university hospital that his spokesman said
he hopes to claim for the University of Connecticut."

And Nelson said he couldn't be bought. Right.

"powerful Democrats also inserted home-state provisions in a 383-page

Read that as PORK inserted at the last minute. *By Dems, for Dems.

Hmm.. double-clutched the paste key, but it was worth repeating.. :-

Double clutch? Some of my cars in my classic car collection require
double clutching.
