TPM thoughts

From July 4th TPMtv, on the Big Picture.

This Libby quasi-pardon is not good. It is a joke. But that is not the story. What came before? The lies? About what? About a possible cover up? Of what? Of a leak? On what topic? CIA cover operatives. That does seem serious. Why would they? It did distract from the serious opposition to going to war...so there we are. Bush stopped his friend from going to jail. The friend who helped stone wall the legal attempt to uncover wrong doing in outing a CIA operative involved in stopping WMD's. An outing that hurt a major opponent to the war.

It is a lot to remember, it is sure as hell obvious that the press has forgotten. No doubt the people have as well.

Mission accomplished, George.


And on to terrorism.


This from FOX news.

Fox News goofball Neil Cavuto explains why universal health care programs are a leading source of terrorism.

Private health care seems to be the right prescription for a secure homeland.

That is why conservatives are afraid of it. If you have universal health care, the terrorist win. GEEZ!!!

50% of Public Health doctors are foreigner (You know...THEM!!!). While in a God fearing, flag loving real man private health plan, only 25% are...THEM! And that percent are a made up only made up of those good kind...you know the good ones. And that is why God gave us private health care.

Ridiculous, right?

Well look at MSNBC.

Now from MSNBC: Terrorism one of the "unintended consequences of universal healthcare."

Now from NBC. And this colonel. He didn't seem so bad a year back. But he has been getting more and more rabid. Now he is just spouting the most patently ridiculous tripe.

I'm so glad MSNBC has a retired colonel to keep them up to date on our health care issues.

I feel safer already.
