WJ this morning - paying for health care
He starts by quoting Karl Rove's Op Ed.
A nurse calls and asks why are you quoting Karl Rove - what doe she know about health care. Great call - still on.

4. What A Stupid Quote...
But then that's our boy Skully. He just love him some Rove and Gingrich and all his AEI pals.

Didn't ya know the GOOPers are looking out for us...they don't want the government getting between you and your doctor, they're just fine with the insurance companies doing it instead.

:hi:

6. Who do they always give out the Rushican phone line first?
I'm sure most of those against reform are paid hacks from the insurance companies. Since CSpin is owned by M$Greedia, I'm betting that some people know the topic earlier than others.

7. This Show Has Long Been Astroturfed...
It's a major reason I watch...call it the political version of "Spot The Loonie"...

It's not as bad now as it was during the height of the boooosh regime. I was all but certain the producer had a hotline to the RNC and the talking points were being fed right into Skully's ears. Those were the days the phone lines were divided up as "Support boooosh" and all others...

And, of course, CSPIN never explains why they were set up by the "cable industry". It was to barely fulfill the original Public Service requirements of thousans of cable franchise licenses. They didn't set this network up as a "public service" other than to fulfill one to cover their own butts...then to use it as a tool to influence congresscritters...which they've done quite nicely.

Remember, it was C-SPIN that made Gnewt a teevee star...
