1. Wendel Potter on Countdown all but said Landrieu is already bought and paid for

and he would know, having been in the Insurance Industry that is working behind the scenes to force customers into their doors through their financial meatgrinder

4. He said she was rewriting history about Obama and the public option. nt

2. i can't watch any more of that dick

tweety is a corporatist ASSHOLE, he slyly play the devils advocate for the GOP, in other words he tries to be a tough 'centrist' or the 'peoples' view advocate, but he sabotoges his own argument and when the guest tries to set him straight - we get the preverbial - "we'll have to leave it there". Propogandist POS

3. I cannot stand Chris. Why doesn't he shut up and let us hear the speaker?

[ultraist]

5. Tell 'em Dean!

Forcing us to buy private insurance is total BS.

If there is no public option, there should be no mandate!

Making us totally beholden to corrupt big insurance corps is un-Democratic.

6. What was Landrieu talking about in her "last word?"

She said the public has an option to buy into the Senate health insurance plan. She deemed that a public option.

7. Sounds like the "choice" parents give their kids...

... when it's time to do chores:

"You can choose to take out the garbage, Tommy, or you can choose to have your bottom smacked. Which do you choose?"

9. "Hobson's Choice"

Take it or leave it.

10. Interesting how Landrieu finally climbed out from under her rock

I could be wrong, but all these months of fighting against and dickering over this bill, I never saw her speaking publicly about health care.

Now here she is - defending the bill!
