Collins: Blame Dems For Bunning (R-KY)

She sure is a loyal soldier:

Hundreds of jobless Mainers woke up today with the looming threat of losing their unemployment benefits. Benefits expired this weekend, and a measure in Congress to extend them for another month is being held up by one senator, Jim Bunning, a Kentucky Republican.

[...]

But Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican, says both parties share the blame for the gridlock. "Had Sen. Reid included it in the bill that we passed earlier this week, we would not be in this situation," she told Capitol News Service.
And if Reid had folded health care reform into the same bill, there would be no uninsured people left in the country.

Shame on Harry Reid!
