Reply #11: Voted in the poll and read the column - terrific piece [View All]

I don't know much about Long Island but I think of it as Republican, so I'm not surprised by the poll results.

The Breslin column is very stirring. The moment he describes, when Cheney said he'd never met Edwards before that night, was Cheney's "go fuck yourself" statement to Edwards. You little pissant, he was saying, you're nobody to me. Calculated to dismiss Edwards, it merely gave John the opening he'd been waiting for - yes, let's talk Congressional records - and Big Dick never rebounded. "Thanks for your nice words about my family. I need a nitroglycerin pill. Can we go home now?"

The Senator touched on everything I was hoping to hear except on the malpractice/liability insurance issue. It is NOT lawsuits driving up these costs, but the losses that major insurers have suffered in the stock market (thanks to Bush/Cheney) which they pass on to their customers. Insurance companies are monsters, not victims. I would have liked to have heard that touched on last night.

Thanks for posting the link.
