DNC chairman: GOP call to start from scratch 'is like Dr. Kevorkian giving you healthcare advice'
By Jordan Fabian - 02/23/10 03:53 PM ET

Republicans' calls to start from scratch on health reform legislation "is like Dr. Kevorkian giving you healthcare advice," Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine said Tuesday.

In giving his take on GOP healthcare ideas, Kaine evoked the controversial Dr. Jack Kevorkian, an assisted suicide advocate who spent eight years in prison on a second-degree murder charge.

Kevorkian has claimed to have helped as many as 130 people commit physician-assisted suicide.

"When I hear the start from scratch it doesn't sound like earnest advice," Kaine said on MSNBC. "It's more like, you know, Dr. Kevorkian giving you healthcare advice"

1. This is the kind of sound bite that the Dems need every day...

Of course, most of America does not know who Kevorkian is or they forgot because they were all fascinated by Tiger Woods. Probably would be better to say "like taking advice from Michael jackson's doctor."

2. Good one, Kaine!....NOT.

Lame, lame joke.
