Dear Bernie, your colleagues have to make the tough choices so that you don't have to.

We all know that, try as the Dems might, some sort of cop orate bailout is going to happen with this stimulus package but that's what happens when you are forced to negotiate with Satan. It's either go with some sort of bailout or no stimulus at all which the Republicans are okay with.

It's called making a tough choice, but not for Bernie. He gets to ride above it all on his personal, purity cloud, and his supporters will point to this and say, "see Bernie sticks to his beliefs while the corporate Dems sell out".

It's really hard asking a Dem to vote against money for our beleaguered health care system just so that they can pass Matt Taibi's purity test.
