A Bad Deal

Daschle for Gregg. Yuck!

I feel exactly like I felt when the Yankees signed Mark Teixeira last month. It looked like it was a done deal that the Red Sox were going to get him, and I had mixed feelings. Of course, I thought, he would be a force in the middle of the lineup, but that was a huge price to pay. And then the Yankees got him, and I regreted upsetting the karma of the whole thing with my reservations in the first place.

Of course, we don't know who Daschle's replacement(s) will be. But unless it's someone like Podesta (thanks Justin), this is a body blow to health reform. I'm sad.
