Baucus Might Lose Finance Committee Chair, Due To Sucking

Senator Max Baucus, the other vampire squid from Hell, runs the Senate finance committee when he isn't sharing pâté made from the livers of dead cancer victims with all of his good friends in the health insurance industry. Some people simply do not care for this Max Baucus, with his lobbyist-whoring and foot-dragging and complete disregard for fellow Democrats when it comes to drafting acceptable health care reform legislation in his committee. So "these people" ( = his colleagues) have come up with a Plan to drive the ancient demon from his lair forever.

In an apparent warning to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), some liberal Democrats have suggested a secret-ballot vote every two years on whether or not to strip committee chairmen of their gavels.

[...] “Every two years the caucus could have a secret ballot on whether a chairman should continue, yes or no,” said Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), the chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee. “If the ‘no’s win, [the chairman’s] out.

“I’ve heard it talked about before,” he added.

Harkin did not mention Baucus, but his suggestion would likely resonate with the senior Montana Democrat, who has often clashed with his colleagues over important bills.

Yeah eff that guy. Of course, if the Democrats weren't such terrible pussies they would just throw him out publicly and immediately.
