HEALTH CARE HUSTLE

The health care intervention summit can be summed up thusly:

The Democrats spoke for a total of 5 hours 46 minutes and the Republicans were allowed to speak for 1 hour 50 minutes...and the Republicans still won.

Pelosi told a whopper, but Harry Reid was determined to outdo her. 

Obama got testy but still managed to avoid the subject he was being grilled on.  "We can have a debate about process or we can have a debate about what the American people need right now."  Translation:  "How dare you call me out on that - stay on topic!"  (Saul Alinsky translation - the ends justify the means - it doesn't matter how we got here; what matters is that we're here.)

All in all, it was sort of fun - in a really excruciatingly boring way.
