"It's all rigged. The whole conversation is rigged... "

From NBC's Kelly O'Donnell
Colorado Democrat Michael Bennet is apparently unhappy with the Democratic leadership's plan for the lame duck session.

Bennet, who was first appointed to the Senate and narrowly won election to hold that seat in November, was heard on an open microphone today while presiding during a vote.

Bennet's distinctive voice was picked up on a microphone that is typically off while votes are being recorded. On the C-SPAN feed, you can see someone react and signal to Bennet that the mic was hot.

Bennet was speaking to a colleague who appeared to be and sounded like Minnesota's Amy Klobuchar when Bennet said of this lame duck session, "It's all rigged. The whole conversation is rigged. The fact that we don't get to a discussion before the break about what we're going to do in the lame duck. It's just rigged."

A politician speaking the truth for once.

1. Uh O

Treason.

:P

2. Watch the reaction to be about the open mic instead of the substance

Bottom line - I'm glad this happened.

3. That could be Amy-kins

though what surprises me is that we didn't see her running away as fast as she could. If there's anything Klobuchar hates it's blunt, truthful statements. Just try getting statement from her or her staff about any issue. (Except texting while driving, she did take a clear, courageous stand against that.)

4. Bennet stands by his remarks

I wonder what Klobuchar has to say about it
