Hot Mic: Dem Sen. Caught Saying Lame Duck Agenda is ‘All Rigged’
Posted on November 30, 2010 at 1:26pm by Jonathon M. Seidl Print » Email » A microphone accidentally left on during Tuesday’s Senate session caught one Democratic senator complaining that the agenda is “all rigged.”

After voting on the Food Safety Act, a microphone picked up Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) complaining that the process of setting the agenda during the lame-duck session is “rigged.”

“It’s all rigged. The whole conversation is rigged,” he said. “The fact that we don’t get to a discussion before the break about what we’re going to do in the lame duck. It’s just rigged.”

In comments made to the Daily Caller, Bennet Chief of Staff Guy Cecil stood by the remarks.

“It’s something he’s been talking about from day one,” Cecil told the DC. “The whole process being rigged against having a real conversation about tax cuts, the estate tax and the defense authorization. We’re not having a lot of those conversations. It’s just a symptom of Washington being broken.”

Apparently, the gist of this *rigged* statement goes to the ongoing (R) *pupose(ful) (of) intent* at gridlock simply as part of the ongoing (R) war on Obama ...

Sad.
