You know Obama’s in trouble when people are feeling nostalgic about Hillary Clinton. And that’s exactly what happening in some precincts of the progressive community:
The first televised ad for a Clinton-for-President recruitment campaign has officially hit the airwaves, courtesy William DeJean, a Chicago dentist who tells CNN he thinks the former senator and acting Secretary […]
Donald Berwick, whom our flailing President recently installed as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid with a recess appointment, has long passed himself off as a champion of transparency. It would appear, however, that this is yet another situation in which Dr. Berwick has two standards—-one for himself and another for everyone else.
Before he became CMS administrator, […]
If you really think about it, it’s actually pretty difficult to believe ObamaCare supporters are serious about the claims they make. My latest column for the American Spectator looks at these people as comedians:
Among the most hilarious ObamaCare claims is that it will reduce the federal budget deficit. No less a jokester than Paul Krugman produced this gag in a […]
I sometimes suspect that progressives possess a better sense of humor than we give them credit for. The claims they make for Obamacare certainly suggest that. I mean, how else can one explain their claim that is that it saved Medicare, a gag that can be can be found in the latest edition of the Health Wonk Review:
One of HWR’s contributors, […]
Is it possible that progressive journalists want George W. Bush to rescue President Obama from the fallout of the latter’s stupid comments on the WTC mosque? Yep.
‘It’s time for W. to weigh in,’ writes the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd. Bush, Dowd explains, understands that ‘you can’t have an effective war against the terrorists if it […]
Every time I read an article or blog post by a progressive health care wonk, I’m reminded of William Safire’s famous description of Hillary Clinton. Like the hapless Mrs. Clinton, these people all seem to be congenital liars.
Predictably, Maggie Mahar is a representative example. At Kevin MD, she simulates a reasonable discussion of Medicare physician reimbursements, but parrots the usual partisan […]
Maggie Mahar is a good example of what passes these days for a progressive health care expert. She doesn’t understand how our medical delivery system works, nor does she grasp statistical analysis, but she’s good at networking.
This is presumably how she snagged an invitation to join Ezra Klein’s now-infamous JournoList, where we find Ms. Mahar discussing such esoteric and arcane health care issues as Sarah […]
Paul Hsieh’s latest column for Pajamas Media correctly points out that both spring from the same elitist paternalism:
Both the gun control statists and the health care statists believe that we are fundamentally irrational creatures incapable of managing our lives. Hence, the government must restrict our freedoms for our own good.
This paternalism is the source of Donald […]
In addition to exposing the disgraceful collusion of MSM ”reporters” and bloggers on a variety of important stories, the JournoList revelations provide a useful glimpse of progressive hypocrisy. This video (from the Daily Caller) cleverly contrasts their phony aversion to violence with their sick fantasies about Rush Limbaugh having an MI (Sarah Spitz), Matt Drudge on fire (David […]
Maybe they should rename it FascistBook. A bunch of “open-minded progressives” have been attempting censor Palin’s comments on the plan to build a mosque near the WTC site. And, this morning, her Facebook post on the controversy disappeared:
Sarah Palin’s attack on plans to build a mosque two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center vanished from Facebook […]
