Without a doubt the most down to earth, logical discussion about health care reform so far.


(I know, I know, you hate all caps.)

1. I totally agree! I love Anthony Weiner!
I just wish Matthews didn't talk over him like he did.

Nonetheless, I'm for Tony!

7. I Hate Sissy Matthews. Link for Mission Accomplished Day
I love to remind people what a tool Matthews is! He was absolutely giddy with delight when his President George Bush did his aircraft carrier act.

2. Anthony Weiner rocks in this clip.
In a way he reminds me of Wellstone - fiercely standing for the people.

3. has that great ability to take a complex issue and make it so simple
for anyone to understand.

Most important he knows what points to emphasize.

He is great. I wish they had put him on much earlier.

6. Maybe the issue isn't so complicated
Maybe the real talent lies in the people who can make it appear complex

4. He has shown leadership skills that have proven to be rare on the hill.


Meaning that he has command of the facts, the ability to effectively argue those facts, plus he has the welfare of the citizens of this country clearly in his best interest. It's easy to be a fan of his. For those of you who haven't yet, please email his office with some personal thank you's.

8. Why didn't he tell Mathews that the Republicans have voted 51 before why is it so horrible...
it's not. He should have brought that up. Would have shut up Mathews in his tracks.

9. He was great, but Tweety got on my nerves asking non-stop questions, and
trying not to allow him to respond.

At one point, I thought Tweety wanted to ask and answer the questions himself. Why does he have guests.

10. Tweety REALLY REALLY met his match. Weiner kept up with him.
The guy is fucking brilliant. No pat answers.
Really intelligent thought-out responses.
Succinct and to the point.
