Quote Of The Week

At a recent town-hall meeting in South Carolina, a man stood up and told his Congressman to "keep your government hands off my Medicare," which is kind of like driving cross country to protest highways.

-- Bill Maher

Oh, and by the way, Senator Chuck Grassley is a fucking idiot:

This morning, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) called in to MSNBC's Morning Meeting to discuss health insurance reform. During the interview, host Dylan Ratigan asked Grassley about the so-called "death panels" in the House reform bill. Grassley, incredibly, responded that the fervor over end-of-life counseling is the result of "a distortion coming from [the] far-left."

Grassley said: "Well, listen. I see that as nothing more than a distortion coming from far-left with bringing up these end-of-life concerns, which are not the issue that we ought to be talking about. We ought to be talking about government takeover of the health care system. We ought to be talking about the exploding deficits. We ought to be talking about the failure to get on top of high health care costs. And all of these things are in the Pelosi health care bill, and it seems to me they don't want to talk about the real issues."

A distortion from the far left? I'm sure Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich would be interested to know that they are members of the Far Left.
