WARNING: Viewing the accompanying video could cause a dangerous rise in blood-sugar levels.

Didn’t she ask the good doctor why he doesn’t accept Medicare or Medicaid patients?

“Didn’t she ask the good doctor why he doesn’t accept Medicare or Medicaid patients?”

Somehow, Shipman didn’t have time for that.

For others interested, here’s an article that mentions it: http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2009/05/29/spin_meter_sotomayor_has_conflicting_images/?page=2
