Did anyone see Rachel Maddow's "pizza" analogy" to describe the Repubs. last night?
Edited on Wed Aug-19-09 08:24 PM by jenmito
It was PERFECT-Rachel asked Kent Jones (who represented Repubs. in Congress) if he wanted pizza (health care reform). He said yes so she asked if he wanted pepperoni. He said no. She said, "How 'bout sausage?" He said no. She went through every other topping and he still said no. She finally asked, "OK then, just plain CHEESE pizza?" And he answered no, he didn't want cheese, either. So she finally concluded that he didn't really WANT any pizza and ordered pizza for those who did.

It was very clever and apt.

10. That is likely what obama was doing when he let the myth get out there that
he was dropping the public option. Showing the GOP to be the anti reformers that they are.
