Keith Olberman is always good as a denouncer of idiots.
About Representative Wilson, he said that the only thing more offensive and embarrassing than the lack of civility Wilson displayed in "shouting at the President like he was a referee at a ball game and you were a drunk in the stands," is that Wilson was glaringly wrong in a comment that has "embarrassed the nation."
All fact checkers agree that Obama's plan does not give health coverage to those in this country illegally. Yet many Republicans continue to insist that it does. I heard one being interviewed: his assertion was that illegals are not supposed to get various other government services but they do anyway. Ergo, they will get health care, no matter what the law says. So how in this world can you write a law that will satisfy them? The answer is you can't.
One of the many progressive groups on whose emails lists I seem to occupy a space wrote that Obama's speech marks the end of the silly season.
Let's hope so.
