Glad we amuse you!

Some gift he has – in one sentence both public option and “the left” get trashed.

Makes me think of that Glen Greenwald article today

As always:  even when the dirty leftist hippies are proven right, they’re still Shrill, unSerious Losers who every decent person and “journalist” scorns.

However considering that Greenwald was wrong when supporting Obama I’ll go with Riverdaughter’s

The White House has probably never seen the likes of us.  We’re both ignorant bigots and anarchic, civil rights types with a penchant for healthy living.  One thing is for sure: Obama wants nothing to do with us and he’s making a point of telling the whole world how utterly repellent we are.

Update

Here’s another excitable leftie - Paul Krugman, whom they managed to bring back on the plantation lately

the Obama administration — which seemed, over the weekend, to be backing away from the “public option” for health insurance — is shocked and surprised at the furious reaction from progressives.

Well, I’m shocked and surprised at their shock and surprise.

And he has arguments too

And let’s be clear: the supposed alternative, nonprofit co-ops, is a sham. That’s not just my opinion; it’s what the market says: stocks of health insurance companies soared on news that the Gang of Six senators trying to negotiate a bipartisan approach to health reform were dropping the public plan. Clearly, investors believe that co-ops would offer little real competition to private insurers.

But that’s OK, because the GOP opposes that too.

Update

We now know that the Senate bill never included a public option

Do you see any way that the gang of six will come out of the Finance Committee with a public option? Snowe: No, I don’t. We have not had the public option on the table. It’s been co ops…”
