Bad Democrat dance-off! Ben Nelson signals his support for a "trigger" that would create a public option later—because seventy years of broken health care just isn't enough—while Max Baucus goes him one better in stripping out the public option, the trigger, and even the co-operative alternative floated a few weeks ago by Reid and others.

Look forward to the Joe Liebermann No Health Care Reform At All Act of 2009, coming soon. It'll be bipartirrific.
