Surprise! Rep. Bart ‘Faust‘ Stupak wasn’t really interested in abortion – a little time to bask in the glory of the chosen one and a flimsy executive order was all it took to capture the votes of the Stupak coalition.

Let’s make a deal… Stupak vs. Faust:

Stupak’s deal gave the dems the five votes necessary to take control of American healthcare until, well, the end of time. In exchange, Stupak received an executive order that will hold until: (1) the next democrat President is elected after Obama and repeals it or (2) Obama changes his mind. Hopefully the messiah also threw in a visit to Stupak’s riding – that’ll be the nail in the coffin for Stupak.

Faust’s deal gave the devil his soul until, well, the end of time. In exchange, Faust received knowledge for the rest of his life. Faust dies, so does the knowledge, and he is damned for eternity.

And so it’s done. On March 21, 2009, the greatest healthcare system in the world was dealt a fatal blow… so reads the obituary.

I’m sorry that I couldn’t find a photo of Stupak accepting political favors for his vote, which is funny because I thought CSPAN was going to be allowed to film all negotiations.
