HUFFPOST HILL - SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2010

Both parties today prepared to unveil sweeping job-creation initiatives as Senate Democrats readied their payroll tax measure and Republicans leaked their "Pledge to America." Discussions of jobs were not relegated to back-to-work schemes, however. Word got out that Rahm Emanuel may go from telling people in Washington to go @*#$% themselves to telling people in Chicago to go @*#$% themselves. Lisa Murkowski lost her plum gig as the number-five GOPer in the Senate but got a month-to-month re-up as the energy committee's top Republican. And the government's chief TARP official announced he's dunzo. We hope Harry Reid will be able to get back to his job after his eyes cartoonishly shot out of his head today upon hearing that Tom Coburn wouldn't object to something. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Wednesdsay, September 22nd, 2010:

SENATE DEMS GIVE JOBS BILL ANOTHER SHOT NEXT WEEK - Gotcha legislating at its finest. Sam Stein: "Senate Democrats are planning to vote on a payroll tax incentive by the end of next week, leadership aides confirmed. The bill, entitled 'Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act,' would provide payroll tax relief to companies who hired employees domestically during a three-year period beginning September 22. The legislation is similar to the one President Obama has begun touting as a quick and politically palatable measure to encourage companies to hire new workers -- though skepticism exists among the progressive economic community as to how effective it would be. 'We hope to have a vote on it by the end of next week,' said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). 'This bill is very different then previous bills we have taken to the floor. We are optimistic it is going to enjoy more support than previous efforts relating to shipping jobs overseas.'...Such a proposal has long had champions on the Republican side of the aisle, including Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) during the 2008 presidential campaign. The expectation going into next week, however, is that Senate Republicans will balk at the measure. " http://huff.to/cNAeQs

SENATE CLOSING IN ON FOOD SAFETY DEAL - Tom Coburn stunned Harry Reid this evening by uttering word's the majority leader never thought he'd hear from Dr. No: "I will not object." Reid was floored. "Would you say that again?" Reid begged. Coburn said it again, adding that he would agree to move forward to the food safety bill if the only amendments ruled in order were two by Harkin-Enzi and one by Jon Tester. Dianne Feinstein's BPA-restricting amendment would be backed over by the bus. "In light of my friend's request to modify my unanimous consent request, and my inability to intelligently respond to it, because this is something I had not anticipated, I will be happy to withdraw my request," Reid said. Negotiations are ongoing, but upon a little reflection, Democrats were less impressed by Coburn's offer, which was a bit too clever by half. Not only would it spike Feinstein's amendment, which Republicans hate, but it makes Coburn's amendment part of the bill itself without a vote, and Democratic aides say Coburn hasn't yet told them what the offsets would be.
