Inhofe On Delay: 'We've Had All The Fun We're Going To Have'

Inhofe: 'We've Had All The Fun We're Going To Have'

Republican senators have repeatedly denied that they are delaying health care reform for delay's sake, saying the American public wants more time to consider the historic legislation.

But on Wednesday, in an interview with The Oklahoman Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) had a different take.

"I can assure you the vast majority of the [Republican] conference was on my side saying we've had all the fun we're going to have" debating the bill, Inhofe said.

Republicans' insistence on dragging out the process even when the outcome is not in doubt has forced 92-year-old Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) to be wheeled to the Capitol for late-night and early morning votes.
