Sunday morning funnies: Wonkette skewers Madame Peggy on her BS content and sanctimonious writing style.

...the idea of a "public option."

We don't know what "public option" will mean if there is anything described that way in the final bill.

Peggy Noonan is right about the vagueness.

"Medicare for All" is a simple concept that millions of Americans will support -- because they can understand it and they know, either personally or through relatives and friends -- that it works. We need to cut the deliberately confusing bullshit of "public option" and give the American people the lifeline they need: Medicare for all.

FUCK YOU, YOUR PIGGYSHIP!!!

Wow. Someone ought to preserve that for internet history.

"Give her a break. It’s easy for YOU to understand how the whole thing works. But when you’ve just downed three vodka shots, five Martinis, and some Zoloft like she just has, of course it’s hard to understand."

:rofl:

Peggy Noonan:

The president’s health-care plan is not clear, and I mean that not only in the sense of “he hasn’t told us his plan.” I mean it in terms of the voodoo phrases, this gobbledygook, this secret language of government that no one understands—”single payer,” “public option,” “insurance marketplace exchange.” No one understands what this stuff means, nobody normal.

Wonkette:

How about this: Basic health coverage for all, and protection for the already sick.

There is plenty to criticize in Obama’s meandering inability to emphasize these simple goals, but if those two simple objectives mean nothing to you, or bore you — you, the political columnist whose job is to understand these concepts — then you are a sociopath. You are apathetic to the unnecessary and costly deaths of your fellow citizens under the current system, which even the most basic reform plans under consideration would do much to alleviate. If you care about lower- and middle-class people dying under a poorly regulated for-profit health insurance system, you can spend the 15 seconds it takes to learn what “single payer,” “public option,” “insurance marketplace exchange” (doesn’t she just mean “insurance exchange?”) mean. These are important terms, and not difficult at all, but you dismiss them as “gobbledygook” that no one should bother to learn on one’s own, because the president should explain it to everyone personally, with small words, in a children’s book. We know that this is how you and your fellow advisers were forced to explain every policy issue to Ronald Reagan, but he’s dead now, so grow up. And stop writing poison.

Finally, anyone who tries to argue that Obama would find political reward by abandoning health care reform now and “regrouping” for another year or two is either wrong or lying — usually both! — and does not have the country’s best interest at heart.

She's so insufferable.

OMG that was awesome....
