A pity my basic cable TV package doesn't include MSNBC.  For those of you
who are able to get the channel, this would seem to be worth watching
tonight.

 Keith Olbermann to Expose Congressional Opponents of Universal Health Care
Tonight!

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

We've just received an advance transcript of tonight's Special Comment by Keith
Olbermann <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/> on his MSNBC show. It is
nothing short of brilliant -- and if all of America were to hear what he is
going to reveal tonight, we are certain the vast majority of Americans would
be on the phone to their elected representative immediately, calling for an
end to the private, for-profit, rip-off health insurance companies who have
wrecked our country.

Here's a brief section of Keith's editorial tonight:

"Congressman Mike Ross of Arkansas. Leader of the Blue Dogs in the House.
You're the guy demanding a guarantee that Reform won't add to the deficit.
I'm guessing you forgot to demand that about, say, Iraq. You're a Democrat,
you say, Congressman?

"You saw what Sandy Barham said? Sandy Barham is 62 years old, she's got a
bad heart, and she's hoping her valves will hold together for three more
years until Medicaid kicks in, because she can't afford insurance. Not just
for herself, mind you. For her employees. She needs the public option. So do
those six people who work at that restaurant of hers, Congressman Ross.

"And why should you give a crap? Because Sandy Barham's restaurant is the
Broadway Railroad Café, and it is at 123 West First Street North in
Prescott, Arkansas. Prescott, Arkansas, Congressman Ross. Your home town.
You are Sandy Barham's congressman. Hers, Sir. Not Blue Cross's and Blue
Shield's, even if they do insure 75 percent of the state and they own you."

 And here's what Keith has to say about Senator Thune:

"Senator John Thune of South Dakota? You gave the Republican rebuttal to the
President's weekly address day before yesterday. You said the Democrats'
plan was for '... government run health care that would disrupt our current
system, and force millions of Americans who currently enjoy their
employer-based coverage into a new health care plan run by government
bureaucrats.'

"That's a bald-faced lie, Senator. And you're a bald-faced liar, whose bald
face is covered by… your own health care plan run by government
bureaucrats."

 Don't miss his show, live at 8pm ET. Rebroadcast at 10pm and 1am.
