Subscriber Glen Farber sent this bit of verse by email:

When the pressure was starting to swell,

Senator Collins played cautious as well.

She said "no" with a grin,

When the fight she’d not win—

Just like Murkowski who bargained to sell.

When the moment grew heavy with doubt,

Collins waited 'til safe to speak out.

Not brave, just delayed—

While Murkowski got paid,

Both complicit, just different in route.

When they rolled out the big, beautiful bill,

Collins waited, hands clean, on the hill.

Not a profile in spine,

Just a vote by design—

Like Murkowski, who swallowed her fill.

Thank you Susan Collins. My sister and brother-in-law live near Wiscasset, Maine, and we're all grateful!

Doug Allen South Carolina-

where Republican politicians control everything and have no loyalty to traditional Republican values or the constitution. For shame.

Susan Collins only votes the right way when she knows she'll lose. Absolutely no integrity.
