mike enzi

Look, it’s Max Baucus’s summer boyfriend, Mike Enzi! Mike Enzi has it so easy because he has a simple four-letter last name. Some people are not so lucky. In this video, note how fluently Mike Enzi says “ACORN” and how he cannot say “Blagojevich” at all. What, was this guy living under a buffalo for [...]

Who says a Christmas tree is incapable of being kosher? The Jerusalem Rabbinate, that’s who. [Matt Yglesias] Mike Enzi gives the Senate health care bill a big fat F because when he asks for 3,000 pages double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman, he is not looking for 2,074 pages in Helvetica. That’s an incomplete [...]

AHHHH. 14-9. So long, terrible Senate Finance Committee! Back to your cornfields, Grassley! Back to your barbwired condo in Hell, Baucus! Back to whatever there is in Wyoming, Enzi!

Mike Enzi, Chuck Grassley’s second-in-command for reaching a bipartisan health care bill, wants to reform health care in much the same way that his superior does: by killing health care reform completely. This does not portend well for the Gang of Six! Even White House meanie Robert Gibbs admitted today that Enzi, whom [...]

Creepy Italian sausage SILVIO “JUST CALL ME PAPI” BERLUSCONI cherishes his privacy. Sì, Berlusconi needs his special alone time, so he can mount meter maids and plow the dickens out of teenage models in peace. But why won’t the evil ITALIAN MEDIA respect Berlusconi’s privacy? Surely they will all be excommunicated after ruining his daughter’s [...]

WHO THE HELL IS MIKE ENZI? The kinda-sorta longshot hope for these wretched Democrats to salvage what is supposed to be the crowning legislative achievement of the last 40 years of Democratic politics would be to get all the bills out of committee, fart all over the bad ones during the reconciliation process, and send [...]
