NewsBusters.org ^ | 08/12/2009 | Seton Motley

Posted on 08/12/2009 11:45:35 AM PDT by UnalienablyRight

On this morning's MSNBC News Live, co-host Angela Burt-Murray - the Editor-in-Chief of Essence magazine -uncorks this absolutely wild pitch to Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-Md):

Recently you released a report on women and health care, and taking a look at the very real issue that families are facing we have more than 64 million women who have lost health care due to loss of job or a spouse that has lost a job. How do you see the Administration's plan being more able to effectively address this issue for women and children in this country?

64 million? Just women?

64 Million! That's nothing! Haven't you heard that there are over 400 Million children in Texas alone that are suffering without health care. I think all together there are over 200 Trillion men, women and children in the US that have been victims of Bushes health policies and that MUST be corrected by our Fearless Leader.

The Obama defense team MSNBC. They need to reurrect Johnny Cochran to get him out of this, They are doing their best but this is harder than the OJ case. Olbermann, The Tingler and Company are in over their heads,

Technically that would be one third of all women including children.

Hillary once said that over 20% of the American people suffered from some form of Mental Health Disorder.

Wonder what ol’ Elijah replied. This was “his” study? LOL. Whatever. He knows he has tenure for life thanks to his mostly minority, uneducated, on-the-dole constituency.

You forgot to mention the 1,500,000,000,000,000,000 new green jobs the liberal Messiah created last month alone,

Speaking of “made up estimates”, there’s the whopper that vascular surgeons get 30 to $50,000 to amputate a foot. That’s a 30 to 50-fold exaggeration of the actual fee. Sounds “fishy” to me....

Nancy Pelosi once said that every month the stimulus didn’t pass, 500 million americans would lose their jobs.

Right number. Wrong context. The lifetime risk of someone developing a mental disorder such as depression, schizophrenia, anxiety or substance abuse is 20%.

On the bright side, every pack of cigarettes sold saves 22 cents in nursing home costs.

Oh. I thought she was just talking about the people on the far-left that support her.

Okay, so there's about 115 million women in the United States. If 64 million of them lost their "health care" that would be about 56% of all women.

I thought all hospitals were required to provide health care to everyone regardless of ability to pay.

Also, Medicaid covers about 20 million women, so that means that only 31 million women HAVE "health care" they pay for? That's kinda hard to believe.

It's probably closer to half, look at who we have in the Oval Office.
