Douchebag of the Day
GRASSLEY: In countries that have government-run health care, just to give you an example, I’ve been told that the brain tumor that Sen. Kennedy has — because he’s 77 years old — would not be treated the way it’s treated in the United States. In other words, he would not get the care he gets here because of his age. In other words, they’d say ‘well he doesn’t have long to live even if he lived another four to five years.’ They’d say ‘well, we gotta spend money on people who can contribute more to economy.’ It’s a little like people saying when somebody gets to be 85 their life is worth less than when they were 35 and you pull the tubes on them.
Teddy needs to cockpunch this GOP shitbag.
Chuck Grassley Uses Kennedy’s Brain Tumor to Spread Fear of Rationing [ThinkProgress]
The Last Lion needs to go old school on Grassley’s ass.
@redmanlaw: I think he should walk sloowly up to him, weakly place his arm on Grassley’s back and whisper in his ear “Hey Chuck, I can still drive. Wanna go for a ride?” then shuffle away. Since that’s the GOP bugaboo, fucker’ll keel over with an MI.
@The Nabisco Quiver: Or , “let’s talk on the flight”.
Did you see the bit on the Daily Show about Chuck using some fractured fairy tale about the Deficit Dragon and Sir Taxalot, complete with cartoon pictures of same during a debate on the floor of the Senate? Douchetastic.
@Mistress Cynica: the fucker can’t even keep his fables and fairy tales straight. NO MIXING AND MATCHING, FUCKNOZZLE.
@Mistress Cynica: /big cartoon book falls on and flattens him.
@Mistress Cynica: @Signal to Noise: Were Sen. Brownback’s magic embryos involved?
Teddy needs to cockpunch this GOP shitbag.
Yes indeed. I’d gladly hold him still, too, so Teddy could make the first punch count, the way they teach you in martial arts. This health care battle has gone on long enough–since Truman, right? Jesus.
