Arlen Specter: DFH

Who would have imagine a few months ago that Senator Arlen Specter would be on a Sunday show, selling the public option and debunking health care myths coming off like a Dirty Fuckin Hippie?




Although I have my problems with Jake Tapper, he did a pretty good job of pushing back on Orrin Hatches' bull this morning.

Give Bernie A Microphone So He Can Rip It

Well we know there is at least one guy in Congress who doesn't mind busting people in the mouth when it comes to debating health care reform and the need for a public option.

That guy is named Bernie Sanders.

It just goes to show that if you take the marketing firm generated talking points away from the Republicans, even one as seasoned as Orrin Hatch, they got nothing.



I don't know what it means that one of the best spokespersons for true liberal and progressive health care reform isn't even technically a Democrat, but I'll take it, thats for DAMN sure!

Big ups to Cenk Uygur and The Young Turks for posting the video.

A Couple Highlights From The Sotomayor Hearings

First up we have Senator Orrin Hatch getting schooled on the difference between nun chuks and guns.



Next we have known racist Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III PWNING himself by trying to put words in another judge's mouth to attack Judge Sotomayor.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), seeking to discredit Judge Sonia Sotomayor's judicial philosophy, cited her 2001 "wise Latina" speech, and contrasted the view that ethnicity and sex influence judging with that of Judge Miriam Cedarbaum, who "believes that judges must transcend their personal sympathies and prejudices."

"So I would just say to you, I believe in Judge Cedarbaum's formulation," Sessions told Sotomayor.

"My friend Judge Cedarbaum is here," Sotomayor riposted, to Sessions's apparent surprise. "We are good friends, and I believe that we both approach judging in the same way, which is looking at the facts of each individual case and applying the law to those facts."

In fact, while Sessions held up Cedarbaum, a Reagan nominee, as having the superior approach to jurisprudence, Cedarbaum immediately backed Sotomayor. "I don't believe for a minute that there are any differences in our approach to judging, and her personal predilections have no affect on her approach to judging," she told the Wall Street Journal this morning.
