Guaranteed Healthcare

Mark my words.

Lacking any pretense of intellectual firepower, uneducated and untrained news readers pretending to be journalists will be among the biggest roadblocks this election cycle when it comes to healthcare reform.

The American people need to be educated, and relying on morons like this is truly frightening to contemplate.

 Well contemplate we must, because this is yet another bleak reality we face.

The pattern is eerily familiar.

Journalists Entertainers refused to ask the hard questions before the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and I see the identical pattern playing out with healthcare.

Within a few short hours today, I witnessed two instances of newsreader/journalists attempting  to grapple with the subject of healthcare.

Both failed miserably.

Take a look at this interview from This Week with George Stephanopoulous.  Midway through  the interminable discussion, George gets around to asking John Kerry and the abomination Lindsay Graham about the differences between the Obama and McShame healthcare plans.

You'll notice if you watch the video, that the question is not  responded to by either Kerry or Graham.  Even worse, Stephanopoulos, not having the brain power of day old pancakes, doesn't return to it. Question asked, never answered--all is good in the world. And this passes for news.

By the way, sad to say, watching Kerry brought back the nightmare of 2004--a very good man, but, oh my God, not the world's finest communicator.
