Michele Bachmann and Alan Grayson are on Larry King Live, and I can’t resist liveblogging:
King: What’s wrong with majority rule?
Michele: That’s not how the Senate works. That’s the nuclear option. The Senate would have to break the rules to pass the bill.
Alan: She’s entirely wrong. There’s nothing that prevents reconciliation. If it’s good enough for tax cuts to the rich twice, under Bush….
Busted, Michele.
King: Your solution?
M: Let Americans buy any policy with their own money, deduct the rest of expenses. Obama’s bill won’t bring down costs for Americans.
A: According to CBO, it will provide insurance to 80% who don’t have it. Two identical people, one without hc has 40% better chance of dying.
M: What in the world is going on in the WH. He offered a judgeship to brother of a member of Congress. We need an investigation… Is the WH trading health care votes for judgeships?
A: Another weapon of mass distraction, change the subject away from hc. We need affordable health care that is accessible. … going off on a tangent…
M: Corruption isn’t a tangent… This is VERY serious. We need an independent investigation.
A: We will have a health care bill. It’s gonna happen.
Um, well, that lasted 8 minutes. Much ado…
UPDATE: Heather at C and L has the video.
