Initial reports over the weekend were that 12 year old boy Graeme Frost was going to walk point yet again for the Democrats on Countdown tonight. However, MSNBC informs us that his parents, Halsey and Bonnie Frost, are stepping up to the plate, sort of. They're going on with Softball with Keith Olbermann.
From the Countdown blog at MSNBC:
Tonight we'll have the parents of the child who started a thousand smears. You remember Graeme Frost, the 12-year-old boy who was held up as an example of someone whom S-CHIP would be a great help to and who the radical right wing decided to smear. Tonight Keith will sit down with his parents and get their real story.
Also we'll have much more on the Thomas Ricks article that led the Washington Post this morning...if we've beaten Al Qaeda in Iraq, why don't we get out? Did we beat Al Qaeda in Iraq? Lots of questions...we'll have answers tonight.
Plus...we'll have an in depth discussion regarding Rudy Giuliani's comments that he would keep America safe from an Extra Terrestrial attack. All that and a preview of Matt Lauer's exclusive interview with Senator Larry Craig (yeah, we got him!). It's must see TV, kids!
It may be too late for the Frosts, however. The Democrats are rolling out a new S-CHIP family. And this time they swear they're truly needy. From the Politico:
Democrats profile another SCHIP family
Michelle Malkin, meet Bethany Wilkerson.
Bethany is the latest child being profiled by Democrats arguing for an override of President Bush's veto of the State Children's Health Insurance Program bill.
Malkin, the conservative blogger, made waves last week when she investigated the finances of Graeme Frost's family after 12-year-old Graeme, an SCHIP recipient, gave the Democratic radio address. While conservative bloggers mounted a campaign to dig around in the Frost family's life and question the policies that led the family to subsidized health care, liberals pushed back.
This week, Democrats have brought forth the Wilkerson family, whose two-year old daughter Bethany is covered by SCHIP and had life-saving heart surgery when she was an infant. On Monday the Wilkerson family held a conference call, sponsored by USAction, a liberal grassroots advocacy group lobbying in favor of the $35 billion SCHIP expansion.
For the record, the Bo and Dara Wilkerson say they make $34,000 in combined income from restaurant jobs in St. Petersburg, Fla. They rent their house and the couple owns one car, which Bo calls "a junker." Malkin and other bloggers have revealed over the past week that the Frost family owned two properties, as well as a couple cars, and had a $45,000 income. The accusation against Democrats, and by extension the Frost family, is that they are too middle class to be granted any subsidized health insurance for their children.
The Wilkersons said they are fully aware of the possibility that their finances and personal lives may be investigated by opponents of the SCHIP bill.
"We rent a house, we have one car that is a junker. Let them dig away," Bo Wilkerson said. "I have $67 in my checking account. Does that answer your question?"
The Wilkersons will participate in an SCHIP rally in Washington on Tuesday, plan to lobby several House offices on Wednesday, and will be in the House chamber for the override vote on Thursday. They also plan to appear with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) at a press conference.?i>
All of this effort, including using children on SCHIP to promote the expansion of the program, seems unlikely to change any votes in the House, where Democrats are still well short of an override. Stay tuned to see if bloggers pick up on the Wilkerson family story.
Those of us at FR are still looking for that penumbra emanating from the Constitution that says federally funded health care is authorized. In the meantime, watch the Democrats' human shields for nationalized health care in action tonight on MSNBC at 8 p.m. EDT.

The Not So Poor 12 Year Old Who Rebutted Bush on SCHIP Veto
Formatting error-the word “well” should be at top.(we really need an edit button) I’m sure some sicko from the left will look at the way its written and think I meant something by the way it was posted.
The plates are public domain, you can look it up.
Hmmm.... the airbag popped, so they must have had some kind of frontal impact, too. What does the “behave” bumper sticker at the top of the window mean?
Dang! Sorry that I missed this. I bet the live thread was a hootenanny.
These 2 are working something; I think they smell a book deal or if they can keep this thing rolling. That way they can work even less than they already do now.
I’ve mentioned this before on multiple threads, but am compelled to type in the event that the Frosts are lurking;
They are irresponsible parents.
They opened their kid up for criticism when they pimped him to the Democrats.
They’re bad parents.
Knock Mr. Frost all you like, but I thought he was great in “Scooby Doo”!!
Anybody that owns their own Corp knows that your salary is basically anything you want it to be. You keep it low to avoid SSI taxes and in his case to scam the system.

“What does the “behave” bumper sticker at the top of the window mean?”
Itt could actually mean a few things, but my best guess is that it is simply a piece of satire. If you’re from “Balmer” you would be familiar with a campaign called “BELIEVE”.
I actually don’t know what “BELIEVE” means, I think it’s just one of those metropolitan PR pushes to feel good about a city that essentially has no tax base, maybe “Believe in Baltimore” or what have you.
If you travel around Baltimore you see giant banners hanging from corporate buildings and in the Inner Harbor. I always ask my wife “BELIEVE” in what; believe in God, believe in yourself, believe in the city,....??
Anyway, the sticker uses the same font and color and treatment as the “BELIEVE” icon. Kinda the same way folks satirized “Got Milk” with “Got Beer”, “Got Jesus”, “Got Whatever”. In my opinion it’s a piece of satire based on an original concept which actually makes no sense.
It does connect with Baltimore, so it says “I’m from Baltimore” the same way that folks recognize “OBX” as Outer Banks, I recognized the similarity.
Now much too much has been typed about something which means nothing at all. ;0)
