Michele Bachmann held her "House Call" or "Super Bowl of Freedom" or "Douche-Stock", and it was by all accounts a wild success, if by success, you mean that it was a national embarrassment that accomplished nothing. Good times, indeed. If you like your rallies hyperbolic, and filled with jingoistic rhetoric and Hitler metaphors, then you will LOVE this little freak festival. Hundreds of white people, (Or millions depending on who you listen to), gathered to demand an end to tyranny, or health care, or to have their country back, or something about Mao. It's a little hard to follow. It was a who's who of crazy, and they do not disappoint. We will bust out the microscope and break this event down, and see just what these people are up to in a special edition of Wackjob roundup.
Conservative civil war has broken out, and the front lines are in the Special Election in New York's 23rd district. Never has an off year election gotten more attention. Will the outcome of that contest, plus a little semi interesting Gubernatorial action in New Jersey and Virginia determine the legacy of Barack Obama and the strength of the Democratic Party? Will Conservatives devour their own tails? Or is this just a way for the professional punditry to kill a little time until something interesting happens with either health care, or Jon Gosselin, which ever comes first? Stay Tuned for our election eve preview.
Also, as health care moves ever closer to passage in the congress, someone has taken it upon themselves to try to derail the whole thing in the eleventh hour. Wanna take a guess who it is?
The Health Insurance Industry released a new study, or as I like to call it, a ransom note, Rush Limbaugh got kicked out of football, and something has happened in Louisiana that has achieved the impossible, namely, getting almost everyone on the same side on an issue, including Bobby “Novelty Sized Checks” Jindall. What the hell is going on around here? What could be so bad that it would put Obama into smack talking professional wrestling mode? And surely the health insurance industry isn’t stupid enough to threaten the president. Not now. Not mere days before the Baucus bill was set to gain passage in the senate finance committee. Or perhaps they are.
We will take a look-see at a few of the week’s top stories and see if we can make some sense of things. If that’s even possible anymore.
