mitchell’s “having toruble with the eyes today”..maybe she needs better coverage.

I think that Jane did a great job but could have made a snide comment about Andrea’s health insurance. Also, I think every Leftie making a media appearance should ask the Rethuglicans if they have health insurance and if they like the coverage and say, so you are not one of the 50 million people who is without health insurance.

Am I the only person who didn’t know, and is stunned to learn, that Andrea Mitchell is married to Alan Greenspan? Is this common knowledge? How many other insider relationships are there? Is there a database where I can look up all the family ties between media, industry and government figures?

This is hilarious. Jane is trying so hard to not say “Evan Bayh is getting blowjobs from the insurance industry”. Andrea is trying to not say (until later) “Get this crazy bitch out of here”.

Jane! You rock! Thank you for using the time on national MSM to represent the views of the people of this country. It’s too bad the people we elect to do what you are doing don’t.

Great job, Jane, and also great summary Marcy. What never ceases to amaze me is the gall of Senators and representatives who serve their donors so visibly while insisting that their judgment has not been effected by enormous campaign contributions.

Will Evan Bayh really hesitate to vote against the Democratic position, just because everyone in Indiana will think that he is doing so because he has been bought and paid for by the insurance companies? I hope so; but I really wonder.

Also, since the Public Option is the compromise; and the President is repudiating the compromise, does that mean we can now repudiate it and go back to advocating for Medicare for All?

Sorry, earlier I stated that he was dead. My mistake, according to Wikipedia, he’s alive, is 81 and living in MD.

That’s it in a nutshell. People like Mitchell aren’t used to talking with people who have a command of the facts. The only thing Mitchell has a command of is the beltway narrative. She knows nothing about the facts. Weiner did the same thing as Jane when he was on CNBC. He was well versed in the facts and the Republican spin that the CNBC people were trying to use went down in flames when Weiner was able to argue FACTS.

Great job, Jane! Woo Hoo!

He’s cancer victim Marvella Bayh’s son too; and I’ll bet that both his mother and father are spinning in their graves about now.

Jane, Andrea Greenspan called and asked if you could remove your metaphorical boot from her “conventional wisdom of Evan Bayh” ass.

How about a spot on that board for Joe Lieberman, and his wifes work representing the insurance industry.

How about some ads in CT. Tell Joe Lieberman to start representing you instead of his wife’s employer.
