This is good man...this is exactly what we want the GOP to be busy with...catering to the lunatics in their party on issues of zero significance...and running away from reporters on the steps of the Capitol in the most public way possible I know they are self-destructing but I'm human... it's a little painful to watch. I find myself cringing in empathetic embarrassment. Like if someone forgets their lines in a play or something... it's painful to watch.

Al, > This is good man...this is exactly what we want the GOP to be busy with...catering to the lunatics in their party on issues of zero significance...and running away from reporters on the steps of the Capitol in the most public way possible. Meanwhile, I see liberals on this thread and in the media going after blue-dog Democrats, the same ones who helped Pelosi and Reid gain a supermajority. Weren't you all for ramming through universal health care? Seems like that's not going to happen. Can't blame the GOP; they're too busy going after birth certificates. It's not like they can block anything anyway. Tenchusatsu

And O'Reilly is supposed to be one of their best pundits......... CAN'T ARGUE WITH LOGIC LIKE THAT.... Fox News' Bill O'Reilly likes to answer a few questions from viewers on his show, and last night, he highlighted an inquiry from a Canadian: "Has anyone noticed that life expectancy in Canada under our health system is higher than the USA?" "Well, that's to be expected, Peter," O'Reilly said, "because we have 10 times as many people as you do. That translates to 10 times as many accidents, crimes, down the line." I've watched this a few times now, hoping to understand what O'Reilly's thinking, and whether he's kidding. I'd like to think the Fox News personality at least understands the question and the meaning of the words "life expectancy." Obviously, with the U.S. population being 10 times that of Canada, the total number of Americans who die will be larger than the total number of Canadians who die. But that's irrelevant. I'm at a loss. Someone want to help me out with this one? Because at face value, this makes O'Reilly seem even dumber than usual. [see the video] washingtonmonthly.com
