for posting this list. I have just fired off an e-mail to tell NBC that I had to turn off that disgusting program this morning that was so stacked, with Gregory's help, against health care reform. Why Gregory let that gasbag Armey pontificate on and on was enough to hunt for a barf bag. That is one program I will put a block on so it won't ever be seen on my TV again.

I thought that the Press had a mailbox and I was hoping to meet that mailbox in person.

I agree with the other poster that Gregory stacked the deck and thought Rachel did get in a few good comments about what the President needed to do and how he needs to give more direction to the Congress/Senate. I also loved her comment that there were 3 Repub's and 3 Dem's on Baucus's panel and how that was going to tip the final bill in the favor of the Health Insurance Industry and Big Pharma more then it should with the majority of votes going to the Dem's in 2008!

Here is a good article on that:

Senator Baucus, Are you Actually Listening to Chuck Grassley?

The Baucus/Grassley road show on health care reform continued unabated through last week, and Baucus continues to defer to him, despite the obvious fact that Grassley is undercutting just about everything Baucus proclaims to intend to do with a reform package.................

Can Grassley put it any more baldly than this, caught by John Amato?

Sen. Grassley, the Mad Twitterer, was on with Andrea Mitchell and she asked him about the public option. She didn't bring up his tweets,unfortunately. He said that he was against the public option because a think tank study told him around a hundred and nineteen million people would opt out of private health insurance and join it.

That's a Republican saying competition is bad, who is against the consumer's right to choose where and how they spend their money. That's a Republican Senator who doesn't give a good goddamned about what the American people might want.

and a :kick:

Then I lit into him.
