Reid Threatens Reconciliation Route on Health Care

The most important tidbit from today's Pelosi/Reid press conference:

"We still, after all these months, still have a place at the the table for Republicans," he said. "We do not want to do reconciliation unless we have no alternative."

Translation: "Ya needs 'protection,' see? Otherwise things might not be too healthy for ya. Now gimme da dough, see."

And Pelosi calls health care reform protesters "mobsters?"
