Joe Scum's face is very red as he attacks Mica over

[malaise]

Obamacare. He slipped in a when it becomes law


Even Eugene Robinson is tearing him a new one re what ReTHUGs fear.

1. Yep, that didn't take long

I guess telling the truth is now "a paid advertisement for Obamacare".

2. "Most isolated president ..." - Scarborough said

3. He must have missed those eight years of

Dumbya

5. I immediately thought of the one with Alzheimer's

But that is a good choice too.

11. And Nixon! nt

[Motown_Johnny]

6. Allegedly !!!

[SummerSnow]

8. reopen the case

[malaise]

13. Yep the one with the dead lady

In his office

7. Just tuned in.

He was riffing on the theme that in a year corporations will be dropping health insurance because of Obamacare. Earth to Joe: Obamacare is merely the convenient EXCUSE they have needed to do something in one fell swoop that they have been doing piecemeal for YEARS.

Oh...and did I hear him more or less admit that this whole fiasco is nothing more than fun and games to the GOP, but panic will truly set in when the debt crisis hits on the 15th? Political theater, fucking with people's lives. Assholes.

9. I have never thought health care provided by employers was a good idea anyways. It

ties a person down to a low wage dead end job because of fear of losing health insurance. Employers would just have to pay better wages to retain employees, and that would be great!

18. +1

Always hated having insurance tied to employers. How many people were trapped in their jobs, unable to, say, start their own business, retire before 65 (back when that was even possible) or even change jobs--if the new employer didn't offer health insurance, and you had a pre-existing condition, you were screwed!

I'd prefer it if employers were out of the mix. Not to mention insurers, but that's another step.

20. my thoughts exactly!

It makes us so dependent on employers who provide healthcare. Kills the entrepreneurial spirit, stifles creativity.

14. So how much health do those fast food

and Walmart workers receive?
Does Joe Scum have an answer for that?

10. Yip, Mika Mouse gets verbally assaulted again & he claimed SHE was "talking over" him to boot

I dropped out of watching this thing in mid-2012, incredibly, went back to sLimus who now seems rational in comparison. But I thought the TeaBagger event would be something I wanted to see being reacted to on the Schmo circus. What did the coverage come down to --- Schmo beating down the woman. Am sending this to them through their e-mail form.


ON EDIT: Well, had to use the general e-addy, [e-mail], couldn't find the e-form that used to be on their page.

15. SLimus

12. I think Chris Matthews is scheduled for later.

Maybe we'll witness our first on-camera coronary.

Correction: He's on now...

16. False alarm. It was a book-hawking appearance.

They waxed poetic over the great relationship Tip and St. Reagan had, and that was about it. Damn. I wish these guys wouldn't take their meds so early in the morning.

[IdaBriggs]

17. Well, it isn't like anything *IMPORTANT* is going on at the moment.

19. So much for "We've got a VERY big show this morning..." n/t
