So keep on thinking that Fox News is the bestest network evah, and that people like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are worthwhile human beings because they manage to wrangle millions of obedient followers who buy their books and consume their programming. Keep thinking that, Dennis. Because it demonstrates just how little perspective you really have, and just how superficial you really are.

I hope Bill will be able to corner Lieberman at some point. I'd love to be a fly on the wall during that conversation. Indeed, Wilbur.

I hope Bill will be able to corner Lieberman at some point. I’d love to be a fly on the wall during that conversation.

Gallup poll proves public becoming more and more negative toward health care reform:

Gallup: Number who’d tell their rep to vote for ObamaCare down 11 points since last month

Americans have moved in a more negative direction on the basic issue of whether a new bill should be passed into law. Thirty-eight percent now say they would advise their member of Congress to vote against a new healthcare bill this year, while 29% would advise their member to vote for it, and about a third have no opinion. When those with no opinion are asked which way they lean, the verdict becomes 48% “against,” and 43% “for.” Both of these results are more negative than those from early October.

Ugly.
