Keith Olbermann to Expose Congressional Opponents of Universal Health Care Tonight!
Monday, August 3rd, 2009
We've just received an advance transcript of tonight's Special Comment by Keith Olbermann on his MSNBC show. It is nothing short of brilliant -- and if all of America were to hear what he is going to reveal tonight, we are certain the vast majority of Americans would be on the phone to their elected representative immediately, calling for an end to the private, for-profit, rip-off health insurance companies who have wrecked our country.
Here's a brief section of Keith's editorial tonight:
"Congressman Mike Ross of Arkansas. Leader of the Blue Dogs in the House. You're the guy demanding a guarantee that Reform won't add to the deficit. I'm guessing you forgot to demand that about, say, Iraq. You're a Democrat, you say, Congressman?

"You saw what Sandy Barham said? Sandy Barham is 62 years old, she's got a bad heart, and she's hoping her valves will hold together for three more years until Medicaid kicks in, because she can't afford insurance. Not just for herself, mind you. For her employees. She needs the public option. So do those six people who work at that restaurant of hers, Congressman Ross.

"And why should you give a crap? Because Sandy Barham's restaurant is the Broadway Railroad Café, and it is at 123 West First Street North in Prescott, Arkansas. Prescott, Arkansas, Congressman Ross. Your home town. You are Sandy Barham's congressman. Hers, Sir. Not Blue Cross's and Blue Shield's, even if they do insure 75 percent of the state and they own you."
And here's what Keith has to say about Senator Thune:
"Senator John Thune of South Dakota? You gave the Republican rebuttal to the President's weekly address day before yesterday. You said the Democrats' plan was for '... government run health care that would disrupt our current system, and force millions of Americans who currently enjoy their employer-based coverage into a new health care plan run by government bureaucrats.'

"That's a bald-faced lie, Senator. And you're a bald-faced liar, whose bald face is covered by… your own health care plan run by government bureaucrats."

Don't miss his show, live at 8pm ET. Rebroadcast at 10pm and 1am.

but not until the live show is over.

...and eating some great Hot & Sour soup! :hi:

I'm always looking for some real Hot+Sour soup! (While watching KO can't hurt!)

Nowhere around here has it right... do you make it yourself? If so... care to share?

I did find a place that does Phở, though.

...where we had dinner last night. I love Hot & Sour soup. Theirs is good, but there is a Chinese Restaurant on Pico in West L.A. that has the best, IMO!

:hi:

Keith!

K & R!!

Start the meeting with a constituent detailing their story of how the for-profit system has failed them. Dare the thugs to shout down THAT type of story. Kofinis said you need to SHAME these people who are so callous to the way the current system is devastating too many American families.

I know that he will KO it out of the freakin' park!

This should be interesting.

Looking forward to his comment.

one of the best special comments ever!
