ABC This Week's Biased Panel

[erpowers]

Today's version of This Week will have Jay Rockefeller, Mary Landrieu, Kathleen Sebelius, and Tim Pawlenty. I understand that some might think that I am trying to argue that the panel is liberally biased, but I am actually arguing the opposite or at least slightly the opposite. If one looks deeper at the panel one will learn the panel is biased against the public option. Rockfeller is for the public option. Landrieu is against the public option and is expected to say that she will block any bill that includes a public option. Although Sebellius is in the Obama administration, which is democratic, she will not say anything more than what Obama has said on the public option; therefore, I do not expect her to be that big of a supporter of the public option. Finally, Pawlenty is against Obama's version of healthcare reform and is expected to promote the idea that states could implement the 10th Amendment which would allow them to block the Obama version of healthcare reform. So on the panel you have one person supporting the public option, two people against the public option, and one person who is pretty much in the middle.

1. And not one of them...including Rockefeller, is a liberal

I think that is the underlying point behind the casting decisions of the MSM.

2. I was glad to see Pawlenty admit that the bills don't extend health care to illegals

He had to retreat to a new line in the sand. That being the enforcement piece.

We will win that argument. I can hear it now, "So now you want doctors to practice law in the treatment room? Why do Republicans want to get between the doctor and his time for practicing medicine?"

Any rebuttal from the wingnuts can be refuted. Even the front office has better things to do than interrogating new patients. The wording of our responses can make them look so wrong.

I never expected a popular Republican like Pawlenty to give the retreat signal on this issue but there he was waving a flag of defeat.
