It seems its the Republican base that is stupid and classless: The R's might have lost something long term because the whole party ends up looking as stupid and classless as the base. Thanks for pointing out there are a handful of non-stupid and classy Republicans cowering in fear of the Palins and Becks somewhere in NY. BTW the "death panel" is accurate.

BREAST CANCER Ignore guidelines, ex-NIH chief says The former director of the National Institutes of Health is advising women to ignore new guidelines that delay the start of routine mammogram testing for breast cancer. Dr. Bernadine Healy, appearing on "Fox News Sunday," said the directive would save money but not lives. The recommendation, released last week by an independent panel, suggests that women not routinely undergo mammograms until age 50. Longtime guidelines have said women should have regular mammogram screening after age 40. Dr. Healy says that if the new guidelines are followed, more women will die of breast cancer. The independent panel, the Preventive Services Task Force, says its recommendations are based on accurate and up-to-date information.
