But It’s Impolite!

odd coincidence?
barney FRANK and al FRANKen have the same wit, brains and candor of another patriot i always admired: ben FRANKlin.

For that matter, Max Baucus is lying to us. Can someone explain to me why a square-headed white guy from a state with 0.0067 of the population of this country gets to decide on my health care choices?

@blogenfreude: Because he represents “real Americans” unlike Boxer or Schumer.

Liar Liar starring the GOP?

@blogenfreude: Word.

@baked: I think you’re onto something. Or on something. Whatever it is I want some.

@baked: FRANKlin Delano Roosevelt.

The Dems could learn something from two spam subject lines this morning…

You gave me wrong data

You don’t know shit

@baked: Dems should use the FRANKing privilege to get the word out.

@baked: Beans and Franks.

Let’s start keeping score…

• Eric Massa (D-NY) calls Grassley’s Death Panel comments “an act of treason”. TPM thinks that’s a bit harsh. Me, I’m all for counter-hyperbole.
   
• NYT: “Administration officials, who maintain that Republicans are badly mischaracterizing the legislation that has emerged from three House committees and the Senate health committee…” No. They are not “badly mischaracterizing”. They are lying. Say it on the record, guys.

Why not use Senator Franken here? I’m sure the man who wrote a book titled Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them wouldn’t have any problem here.

Latest BarryGram…

It feels like a new lie about health insurance reform crops up each day. Government taking over all health care? Not true. Euthanasia for seniors? Couldn’t be more false. Rationing of care? Reform will stop rationing, not increase it.

These lies create fear and anger, and we’re seeing the results around the country. Frightened crowds have flooded town halls, and the office of a Georgia representative was defaced with a swastika.

Six “lies,” almost one per paragraph. They’re getting better.

Just one thing:

these lies are no accident. They’re part of a deliberate plot by the special interests

No, not “special interests.” Specific, identifiable Congresscritters and soothsayers. Call them out by name, please.

For example, Team Sarah also comes calling…

It’s time we do something about politicians who say one thing at home and do another in Washington. Senator Harry Reid says he is pro-life, and now is the time for him to prove it. Abortion is not health care, and Harry Reid should work hard to ensure any health care reform effort honors and respects innocent human life. Now is not the time for political games.

See? Senator Harry Reid. That’s how you do it.

@Signal to Noise: Senator Al can barely manage a Perry Mason anecdote right now. Perhaps once he settles in.

Interesting development in the realm of douchery:
I did nothing ‘legally wrong’
At Least John Ensign isn’t a liar.
