Bartiromo Becomes Weiner's Latest Victim

Congressman Anthony Weiner revels in rhetorically smacking the stupid out of right wingers on health care reform. He prefaced this back and forth today by saying he had recently reduced Joe Scarborgh and I quote "to a quivering mass" when he debated him on health care, but evidently Maria Bartiromo wasn't paying attention. He so destroyed every one of her GOP talking points that after awhile it got embarrasing. Especially when she asked Weiner why he wasn't on Medicare.

Ezra Klein points out the painfully obvious.




I know he doesn't have a ton of seniority but if the Democrats had any kinds of brains they would make Weiner one of the point people on health care reform. He should be all over TV every single day pushing for a public plan in a way that all Americans can understand.

Taibbi Breaks Out The Whupping Stick

Matt Taibbi went on the attack today on the set of Morning Joe over health care reform. He unloaded pulled out his can of whup ass on the whole crew but in particular he turned his sights on fellow guest Maria Bartiromo. As she continued to try to interject herself into the conversation with nothing better than fact free sloganeering just cluelessly repeating right wing lies and he just kept slapping her down again and again with hard facts. No wonder they only had him on for one segment lol.
