The comment was about a person holding up a sign with the words “keep your hands off of Medicare,” making it look idiotic.
That’s one of the most important parts of the health care bill — it takes money away from Medicare.
That could have been responded to in a few quick words.
Thank you. I confess it didn’t occur to me that the sign holder may have meant that. But frankly, the fact that it’s plausible someone would indeed say something as idiotic as how Leno portrayed shows the Tea Party movement needs to improve its image.
