Remember William Rivers Pitt proclaiming He Parked It about Obama's ObamaCare speech last week? Please toss that down the memory hole. What has inevitably happened with most of Pitt's pompous pronouncements is that he has done a complete 180 as you in this THREAD, "Back to the Health Care Drawing Board." The new operative phrase is "He Blew It" and we will get to the full money quote later in this DUFU edition. However, is anyone here really surprised? One of the things that Pitt is most famous for is his perpetual self-contradiction. Want Pitt to change his mind? Then just wait a minute. And usually it is not just a slight change of opinion. It is a complete 180 shift as in this case. This makes one wonder. Does Pitt even keep track of his own writings such as last week's self sure brief proclamation of "He Parked It." And will Will apologize to the DUmmies he flamed last week? So let us now watch the Pied Piper completely shift directions yet again in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that the only thing consistent about Pitt is his utter inconsistency, is in the [barackets]:
Back to the Health Care Drawing Board
[Back to Pitt's "He Parked It" Drawing Board.]
Give some credit to Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, who unveiled his $774 billion health care reform bill on Wednesday, for being true to his word about wanting to craft a centrist, compromise piece of legislation. That's exactly what he did, and after revealing his bill, that's exactly where Baucus put us: in the middle of the road, right where all the squashed roadkill can be found lying on top of a long, yellow stripe.
[See that squashed roadkill? It is lying in the middle of the road right next to Pitt's credibility.]
It's a nonsense bill, to be blunt, tossed like a hand grenade into a debate already raddled with nonsense as it is. The far right Teabagger brigades want you to believe this reform effort will remake America into a socialist disaster zone where killing grandma is mandatory but insuring undocumented immigrants is only required. Thanks to the unutterably compromised mainstream (read: corporate) media's relentless pursuit of "equal time," each and every one of these shamelessly incorrect and morally bereft accusations have been provided with exactly 100 percent more air time than they deserve. The result has completely polluted the national debate on health care reform.
[The perpetrator of Fitzmas Fraud is lecturing the media on journalistic ethics. Stand by now for a harsh criticism of the one about whom last week's Pitt proclaimed "He Parked It."]
Now comes Baucus and his mixed bag of centrist, half-a-loaf goop, which was brought into being for three sad reasons:
[Try not to drink while reading Reason #1 or risk drenching your computer monitor.]
1) President Obama all but disappeared from the debate over his own health care reform for weeks, which allowed the inmates to take over the asylum. This was a failure on the part of the administration that could have lasting, catastrophic repercussions for the White House
[So much for "He Parked It." No longer operative.]
2) In far too many instances, Democrats in the Senate are made up of what Richard Nixon would have described as "first-rate second-rate men," timorous, still somehow frightened by their GOP cohorts despite the Democrats' dominating majority, and totally unwilling to do anything that might annoy anyone, anywhere, ever, and
[3) ...Too busy laughing at Pitt's complete reversals.]
3) An obsession with making health care reform a bipartisan process, which is the specific genesis of Baucus's bill.
[The Baucus bill is bipartisan. Both Democrats and Republicans hate it but that was the bill being pushed last week by Mr. "He Parked It."]
...No "public option" to balance the playing field and offer real health care alternatives to people who cannot afford insurance under this plan. Not even a "trigger" to activate some form of public option down the line if circumstances warrant. A pile of other important aspects that are critical to creating actual, workable, legitimate health care reform have likewise been excised by Baucus and his yellow-striped legislation proposal.
[The one whom you stabbed in the back predicted that Public Option is DOOMED.]
Why?
[Standby for the money quote!]
Because the president blew it by checking out of the debate he started.
[Pitt just tossed "He Parked It" under the bus.]
Because too many Democrats in the Senate would fold in half if they weren't propped up by aides and staffers due their absolute lack of spine.
[That sounds like Pitt's condition when he leaves Bukowski's: Propped up.]
Because all these Democrats continue to cling to this mind-boggling desire to be bipartisan when it comes to crafting this reform legislation.
[Meanwhile Pitt continues to cling to this mind-boggling desire to be consistent. Pitt continues to go on and on pontificating on a subject about which he is completely ignorant since he once posted a comment that he is completely clueless when it comes to economics. There is also no need to go to the few DUmmie observations since the bulk of the humor has already been provided by Mr. Consistency. Just remember these two Pitt proclamations:]
[Pitt 09-09-09: "He Parked It."
Pitt 09-17-09: "He Blew It."]
IBTP???

Pitt has swung over to the “we won and can do anything we like so why don’t we?” category of political neophytes. He’s due for a profound disappointment...again.
Typical Illogical liberals. Its all about emotion and feeling. They defer the logic and the facts. Interesting point the very legislation that they are drafting with claims that it will help so many can only come about by making their Saint Obama a LIAR and it will hurt their prized consituencies the most minorities and the poor. Thats how screwed up they are.
top something
God forbid we ever have "middle of the road" healthcare. It's communism all the way or nothing!
Before 10??
Anyway LOL.
Top ten post by an avian FReeper.
Better to be the Teabagger than the Teabagee.
BTTT
He is still getting married? The poor woman has not escaped from his basement?
If that’s a picture of this ‘Pitt’ fellow, I’ve got to ask - does anyone know when he’s due? And is it a boy or a girl?
Top 10 business posts!
This clown is totally clueless if he really believes this. It's not about being "bipartisan" you idiot! It's about power, money and getting re-elected. Not rocket science.
