We happened to catch a few minutes of MSNBC's lamest program, "Morning Joe," and saw Rethuglican National Committee chairclown Tin Man Steele holding forth on the Senate's health insurance reform compromise. (Notice how Mika The Sweater fawns over Tin Man; did they teach that in journalism class?) To paraphrase Tin Man, the Dems are moving toooooo fast (President Truman pushed universal health insurance over 60 years ago). Moreover, Tin Man took righteous umbrage at Senate Majority Leader Reid's statement that at times when significant change is needed (abolition of slavery, womens' suffrage, civil rights, etc.), there are always those who want to slow things down.
When panelist Donnie Deutch finally asked Tin Man exactly what was inaccurate about Reid's statement, Tin Man got all "oh no you dint" on Deutch and refused to answer the question. Of course he can't, because it's absolutely true, and Rethugs/conservatives have almost always found themselves on the wrong side in these past struggles. With health insurance reform, their obstuctionism is plain for all to see (New Hampshire Rethug Sen. Judd "Jug Head" Gregg even wrote a memo to his colleagues on procedures, amendments and other stalling tactics to use in the debate).
