Pro-ObamaCare + pro-Castro = one crazy delicious GOP attack ad. The boss has been tracking Diane Watson’s race-baiting for years, but there’s one nuance to this she doesn’t mention: Watson endorsed Clinton over Obama last year, and therefore presumably knows only too well how energized the conservative response to HillaryCare was 15 years ago.

IF you read the papers or watch the news, you'll en counter a long list of accom plishments by the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. You're less likely to hear, however, that in his death Kennedy proved Rush Limbaugh right. In March, the talk-show host and bete noir of progressives everywhere said that the health-care bill wending its way through Congress would eventually be dubbed "the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care Bill."

Back in March, when Rush Limbaugh suggested that, by the time the debate was over, "it'll be called the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care Bill," he was rebuked by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for his "outrageous" and "reprehensible" remark. Guess what? "I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, [it] will bear [Kennedy's] name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American," says West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd, the Senate's most senior member.
