"I suspect the White House and its allies have turned to name calling
because they're defensive, and they're defensive because they know they
have produced a big and indecipherable mess of a bill--one that is
literally bigger than the Bible, though as someone noted last week, at
least we actually had a few years to read the Bible."

I remember Franz Josef Strauss pointing out the relationship between
importance and length - his examples were the Ten Commandments, the US
Declaration of Independence and an EU regulation about the shape of tractor
seats.
