Earlier I posted all about the Party of Swine (flu) and how they're blocking the confirmation of HHS Secretary Sebelius, how they blocked stimulus money to fight flu pandemics, and hence, how it must have slipped their minds to put America first.

Now we have video. Way to have foresight, Susan. If I may quote from my own post for a moment here:

Famously, Maine Senator Susan Collins, the supposedly moderate Republican who demanded cuts in health care spending in exchange for her support of a watered-down version of the stimulus, fumed about the pandemic funding: "Does it belong in this bill? Should we have $870 million in this bill No, we should not."

Yes, we should have.

Even now, Collins continues to use her official website to highlight the fact that she led the fight to strip the pandemic preparedness money out of the Senate's version of the stimulus measure.
