On Fox News: Shep Smith Obliterates GOP Healthcare Talking Points ...
Edited on Fri Feb-26-10 01:03 PM by kpete
Thune said, "Republicans are not going to buy into a bill that costs two and a half trillion dollars, that raises taxes on small businesses and individuals, that cuts Medicare, and at the end of the day raises premiums for most Americans." This answer set Smith off, "No, it doesn’t. That’s not true, Senator. That is not true. That is not what CBO said. I know your talking points. I know the other side’s talking points, but can’t we just say look we’ve got to do something in this country. This is going to bankrupt us, and you people up there who are supposed to be representing us are making it perfectly clear, you are going to sit in your corners with your own talking points, and we are going to lose. We’re going to get nothing, and it’s clear we’re not."

3. Now, if only he had said it in English
"We're going to get nothing, and it's clear we're not."

Let's face it, the man is generally vapid.

4. We keep wondering what atrocity it takes to get fired from Faux. Perhaps atrocity

is not what outrages them, but honest journalism, a bit of human empathy. At last. We shall see.
