This is why I love Carville. Even though he's being railroaded by the host, he understands what this protest crap is all about.

"These protests aren't about health care, they are about people being politically frustrated. They don't even know what they are talking about. Did you see the man in South Carolina that said tell the government to get their hands off my Medicare? ANd you really think that's about health care?... He's frustrated because he's losing out."

3. Didn't Even Bother to Watch

These aren't debates - they're shouting matches - about as useful as a pocketwatch in a nudist colony.

5. Ann Coulter.... still dumb

All I hear when she talks is "Blah blah blah lie blah blah blah lie."

Carville = legend.

6. Another example of Rightwing fact misrepresentation

Carville brought up mortality rates to highlight the failing system. Coulter counters with comparing apples to apples and uses the example of cancer stating that the US is "a lot better". Okay, that's fine; but it's also WRONG. The US ranks 17th in cancer mortality ... well behind Cuba , Sweden and even Mexico . So what the hell is she talking about. http://rex.nci.nih.gov/NCI_Pub_Interface/raterisk/rates39.html

Oh yeah ... as one of my law professors used to say: "If the law is on your side, pound the law; if the facts are on your side, pound the facts; but if neither are on your side, pound the table and talk real loud... juries will see that as you being confident that the case is a 'no brainer'."
