Don't we wish Orrin. Orrin Hatch pretends that the Republicans weren't involved in the process of putting together the health care bill. Sorry Senator but the ones who were completely shut out of the process were single-payer advocates.

With President Obama indicating "that he intends to use the Senate bill as the framework" for the final health care reform legislation, House Democrats are venting "their frustration with the direction of the debate." House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) to …

One new (at least to me) Beck target yesterday: Senator Tom Harkin who committed the sin of calling health care "an inalienable right of every single American citizen." Beck was so upset at that statement that he called the clip of Harkin "the most shocking and horrifying v …

Democrats are retooling and reprising their "Party of No" attack on Republicans in Congress after they unanimously rejected financial reform and health care bills in votes this month.

Sarah Palin must be running out of excuses for her gaffes.

The Fox Nation website is currently featuring a 182-word article on President Obama addressing criticism that he isn't doing enough for the African American community above the 1991 photo of a beaten Rodney King, Jr.

On last Saturday's (12/1909) Cavuto on Business, regular panelist Ben Stein called President Obama "a stunning liar" who is "betraying the Constitution." Not only did host Neil Cavuto fail to challenge such an outrageous comment, he didn't even ask Stein to clarify why  …

The hook is that Notre Dame is a Catholic university and Kelly is pro-choice. Apparently, this is suddenly a contradiction, though the sports world has mainly expressed confusion over why this is an issue.

Dick Morris visited Hannity last night for a session of hate mongering and fear mongering about the health care reform bill.

If Dickens proclaimed of the 1790s revolutionary era in France that it was the best of times and the worst of times, the reactionary Bush era was just the worst of times. I declare it the decade of the American oligarchs.

Senate Republicans said Thursday that they would try to filibuster a massive Pentagon bill that funds the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an unusual move that several acknowledged was an effort to delay President Obama's health-care legislation....

I scratched my head the other day when I heard that Sarah Palin had been invited to be a celebrity guest at a fundraiser for Canadian hospitals.

In purporting to air Howard Dean's comments opposing the Senate health care bill, Fox & Friends omitted his statement that the "problem" with the bill is that with the removal of the public option, "we are now committed to a solution using the private insurance companies." At no  …

In a fun bit of drama on the Senate floor today, Sen. Al Franken cut off Sen. Joe Lieberman during a speech, angering Lieberman's good friend Sen. John McCain.

Movie star and Mike Huckabee booster Chuck Norris has dragged the "War on Christmas" into the health care debate.

At the end of separate interviews on Hardball, Chris Matthews gives Howard Dean a chance to respond to Mary Landrieu's statements and he comes at her hard for forcing everyone into private insurance by not allowing other choices in the bill. I'd call that a smack down for sure.

If Democrats manage to pull off efforts to reform the US healthcare system and ensure coverage for millions who are currently without insurance, the new system -- by design -- will likely still leave tens of thousands to die without insurance before reforms kick in.

In a few moments of heated but controlled anger on the Senate floor Monday evening, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) slammed Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and the GOP for essentially lying about the nature of the Democratic health care bill, suggesting they haven't read it.

The disgraced man once known as Bush's Brain actually has the nerve to say that the reason President Obama's poll numbers are slipping is because he's wasting time trying to fix our broken f*&king health care system and that's not one of the real "bread and butter" issues that Am …

The two television troopers/competitors traded good-natured barbs and taunts throughout about Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga and Glenn Beck - "in spite of your jealousy, one of our biggest voices on television," Walters told O'Reilly, who chuckled heartily, rather than denying it.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), the congressman who gained nationwide fame after declaring that the Republican plan for health care amounts to hoping that people "die quickly," has a few choice words -- or, rather, one choice acronym -- for former Vice President Dick Cheney: "STFU."

Harry Reid is not sorry.

A new effort by Senate Democrats to expand Medicare coverage by opening it up to 55- to 64-year-olds has forced Republicans into an about face of sorts.

WASHINGTON – Democratic senators say they have a tentative deal to drop a government-run insurance option from health care legislation. No further details were immediately available.

Even by the standards of Fox News, which routinely takes a drubbing from liberal critics over sensationalist rhetoric, a comment by Fox News anchor Alisyn Camerota Monday seemed to toe the most outrageous line.

Conservative media figures have attacked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) remarks linking slavery to Republican opposition to health care reform legislation, but have routinely attacked progressives and the Obama administration for creating "slavery" and enslaving the p …

In June, Lieberman said, "I don't favor a public option because I think there's plenty of competition in the private insurance market." That didn't make sense, and it was quickly dropped from his talking points.

Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., isn't worried about Democrats getting angry if he votes with Republicans to filibuster healthcare reform legislation. But the reason for his lack of concern that he gave Politico this week may make some liberals even madder:

Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity have linked a task force's recommendation that fewer women younger than 50 receive regular mammograms to the widely debunked smear that Democratic health reform bills include "death panels." Right-wing media figures have repeatedly rais …

The majority leader's version of an overhaul would cover almost as many Americans as the House bill, but at a lower price. Republicans plan a 'holy war' of delaying tactics.

Based on how the insurance industry "adjusts its products over time to conform to the regulatory environment in which it operates," the report concludes that Stupak-Pitts would "have an industry-wide effect." In short, it wouldn't just impact plans purchased through the new healt …

Harkin said Democrats expect Republicans will try to stall the debate by asking for the entire bill to be read on the Senate floor. If that happens, Harkin said, the majority party is likely to use a procedural maneuver to keep the Senate in session this weekend.

Here's something you don't see every day. One of these talking heads stopped in their tracks for lying on the air.

What are Peggy Noonan and Walter Isaacson smoking?—and Fareed Zakaria for that matter. During this 'very serious' debate on CNN's GPS, Peggy Noonan claims that President Obama is 'governing from the left' and that he's 'damaged his brand' by threatening to raise taxes.
