Finally, Some Backbone From the Democrats

I don't expect it to stick, but a top staffer for Max Baucus (D-MT) just had a meeting with a group of lobbyists, and he told them that if their clients were to attend a meeting on healthcare hosted by Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), it would be "viewed as a hostile act", because the see the meeting as a part of an attempt "stop healthcare reform."

I expect there to be a right-wing media sh%$storm over this, and for Baucus, or his aide to abjectly apologize, with tail tucked between their legs, because that's how Democrats wimp out, but for right now, this is a good thing.
