I guess old Joe still has a few scores to settle with the Democratic party for not nominating him as their Presidential candidate in 2004 and failing to override the Connecticut Democrats’ votes when they did not choose him as the party’s nominee for Senate in 2006. And hey, if he gets to line his pockets with a few million dollars from health insurance lobbyists while he settles those scores, who’s to complain? I mean, other than the people of Connecticut who overwhelmingly support a public option and expansion of Medicare. Oh, and the rest of the country who also support the public option.
