Liberal Dem: Blue Dogs are Brain Dead

I just love this Blue-on-Blue violence:
A key House liberal suggested Thursday that party moderates who've pushed for changes in health care legislation are "brain dead" and out for insurance company campaign donations.

Moderate Blue Dog Democrats "just want to cause trouble," said Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., who heads the health subcommittee on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.

"They're for the most part, I hate to say, brain dead, but they're just looking to raise money from insurance companies and promote a right-wing agenda that is not really very useful in this whole process," Stark told reporters on a conference call.

A spokeswoman for the Blue Dog caucus did not immediately respond to an e-mail request for comment.

Apparently not all Democrats are rallying around ObamaKennedyCare just because Teddy expired.

I'm not so sure is just the Blue Dogs that are Brain Dead, it seems to me like the leadership in general is either Brain Dead or they have No Brains. What they are proposing is preposterous.
