Rep. Anthony Weiner says Republicans have chutzpah. Chutzpah is something the Brooklyn Democrat knows well.
While debating health insurance reform recently, Weiner stood up on the floor and ripped into Republicans, calling them "wholly owned subsidiaries of the insurance industry." After a few seconds, Rep. Dan Lungren, a Republican from California, asked that Weiner's words be "taken down," a rare request for the speaker to discipline a House member for using inappropriate language. Weiner left, then returned saying he would substitute his words. He actually sounded slightly remorseful. It was a ruse.
After he was given the nod for a second go-round, Weiner couldn't think of anything new to say but instead repeated his mantra. Lungren was not amused with this reiteration and asked that his remarks be taken down again. Weiner finished his rant with a conclusion about health insurance, competition and regulation that was confusing as it is comical.
The three-minute clip is circulating the Internet. Conservatives have been rolling their eyes -- National Review Online included the clip on its home page with the words: "Weiner Loses It." Liberals on the other hand are linking to it with pride. Daily Kos says it was "magnificent" and that Weiner's words should be their new mantra because it "makes a great sigline!"
Like any good politician (including Rep. Joe Wilson), Weiner has taken his latest media hit and milked it for all it's worth.

He's a typical whining hot dog that's about as funny as the Obama presidency.
Weiner is .....well, a putz.
What could be worse than a “wound up weiner”?
WIth the name “weiner” he shouldn’t be pointing fingers,
must be a barrel of complexes;
and we know he hasn’t got a brain cuz he hasn’t changed his name.
It would be wonderful to see this adolescent young man sent packing, back to Brooklyn, after the 2010 elections.
He would be able to wear his workers’ cap with pride, indicating his brilliance, his compassion, his high standing as a superior human, and his elite status
among the human cattle he intended to rule.
IMHO
Weiner was wee weed up.
Actually being named Weiner would be like being a boy named Sue
Weiner = Loser
Yeah, you might have to change your name to Savage or something.
It’s no mystery to me that many people have contempt for New Yorkers precisely because of people like him. Arrogant bastard. Cut from the same cloth as Chuckie Schumer and so many others.
He’s a faygeleh,Jim.
A wee wee’d Weiner?
Weiner/ Putz... what’s the dif?
I can’t stand to listen to that weasel. And amazingly, Fox and Friends seems to just adore him.
Yes, I have to say, I didn’t have an opinion about New Yorkers until I moved to S. Florida. They are not ALL like him but a significant number are arrogant, abrasive and just plain rude.
Weiner is engaged to marry Huma. No way is he gay. Or is he? Since when is being gay a disqualifying factor in New York?
For years and years, the Democrat party viciously attacked the pharmaceutical industry for advertising on tv, for charging a lot for drugs, etc. etc.
YOU NEVER HEAR THAT FROM THE DEMOCRATS ANY MORE! Why?
The answer is because the White House began holding secret meetings with BIG PHARMA in February of 2009, enlisting their support IN EXCHANGE for a measure of protection in the health care bill. Former Republican representative Billy Tauzin, a chief lobbyist for Big Pharma, was one of the people involved.
After getting the pharmaceutical companies on board, the White House needed a NEW target to demonize. So the INSURANCE COMPANIES became the enemy.
SOMEONE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, PLEASE WAKE UP AND MAKE THESE FACTS KNOWN LOUD AND CLEAR!
I swear, the Republican message machine is soooooooooooo weak.
Heck they don’t even keep the promises they’ve already made.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ~~ President Ronald Reagan

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:
http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html
This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009
Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.

Wiener needs to grill his staff — they must heard about the catch up coming from the Republicans. He’s in a pickle now — and he thought he would be the onion only and relish being in Congress. He better jump outta the frying pan and get his buns over to Oscar Meyer where he could drive their mobile. This Tony is no phoney baloney!
