Senate Pulls an All-Nighter on Stimulus Bill (UPDATE)

Stating that the U.S. Senate is prepared to work all night tonight (and this morning), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Oil Can Harry) claimed that he is determined to work out a compromise stimulus bill that can gain enough votes to pass.

But Oil Can Harry seems a bit confused.

First he said he had the 60 votes necessary to pass the measure. Then, he later admitted that he lacked the 60 votes.

Already, several turncoat Republicans are expressing their support for the Obama-Democrat sponsored bill that will cost taxpayers an estimated 1.3 trillion dollars. Not surprisingly, those turncoats are Collins, Snowe, Voinovich, and Specter.

Even RINOS such as John McCain and Lindsey Graham are against the measure.

Meanwhile the American public has turned overwhelmingly against the measure on news of the amount of pork contained in the bill--pork spending that supports dozens of ultra-liberal groups the Democrats want to fund.

Late-breaking update!! According to Michelle Malkin, Oil Can Harry, frustrated that he couldn't get enough votes to pass the bill, called it quits for the night at 9 PM. So much for the 'all-nighter.'
