I”m not sure what’s got me more jazzed; that Obamacare is such a shambles, even the far left is bailing on the President<\/a>…:<\/p>\n

In a stunning reversal of fortune for President Barack Obama top progressives are attacking the health-reform plan moving through the Senate as \u201chollow,\u201d \u201cunsupportable\u201d and a sellout to corporate interests.<\/p>\n

Republicans, after plotting for months to sink the signature legislation of Obama\u2019s first year, suddenly think that Democrats might wind up doing it for them.<\/p>\n

Most dangerously for White House chances of assembling 60 Senate votes, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean launched a third day of attacks on the emerging bill, arguing in a Washington Post op-ed that it meets none of his benchmarks for \u201creal reform.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[A]s it stands, this bill would do more harm than good to the future of America,\u201d Dean wrote, then took to the airwaves to amplify his case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…or that Fast Eddie Schultz, a man who actually is<\/em> as stupid and hateful as the left alleges conservative talk radio to be (see Berg’s Seventh Law), is now considered a “top progressive”:<\/p>\n

Ed Schultz, an influential liberal radio host [he’s “influence”\u00a0a few million listeners to switch back to Limbaugh – Ed<\/em>.], declared on his \u201cEd Show\u201d on MSNBC: \u201cThe base is restless. They are wandering in the wilderness, Mr. President. \u2026 They want to know, where are you? \u2026 Right now, Mr. President, your base thinks you\u2019re nothing but a sellout \u2014 a corporate sellout, out that. \u2026 The only people who like this current bill right now, Mr. President, is the insurance industry \u2014 they get a bunch of new customers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don’t you love it when the left takes a break from demanding that conservative leaders run to the center, to demand that liberal leaders move to the left?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
