I don't give a fiddler's fuck for Collins or her centrist bullshit, but I will stick to criticizing her for that, rather misrepresenting her actions.

(260 posts)She said:
The Newtown families were VERY late for their meeting with me. I felt a moral obligation to talk with them. I kept the president of the United States waiting. I mean, how rude is that of me? But I explained to him later that the reason I was 45 minutes late for his dinner was the Newtown families were late -- very late -- getting to my office, and I just could not leave without talking to them. And he was very gracious about it.

It's the opposite of what actuallly happened. Yeah, she was late but she didn't care and of course neither did the President.
And, she's the 3rd repub who's going to vote for further background checks, so far.
