At Last, a Democrat Takes Ownership of the Health Care Bill
Michelle Malkin ^ | 9/17/10 | Doug Powers

Yesterday I wrote about how the majority of Democrats are running from the health care bill they so proudly passed mere months ago. But there’s one Democrat who isn’t shying away from responsibility for his part in forcing the unpopular debacle on America.

New York Rep. Anthony Weiner has unabashedly taken ownership of the health care bill — Not unlike that one courageous man in an elevator full of people plugging their noses and looking for the guilty party who isn’t afraid to boldy step forward, look everyone in their watering eyes and proudly proclaim, “Yes, it was I who sharted! I may have gotten some on your shoes or inflicted permanent damage upon your olfactory glands, but you will thank me someday!”

At a townhall meeting Monday, Weiner did just that: “I wrote the bill… the bill and I are one.”

Nancy Pelosi said that we’d have to “pass the bill to find out what’s in it,” and sure enough, it’s got Weiner all over it — and now we all do.

Let me get this straight. We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke; administrated by people who want to emulate the worst aspects of socialized medicine programs in other countries (e.g. rationing and death panels)

What the hell could possibly go wrong?

God bless Glenn Beck.
