The Choice: 10 Million Children or 40 Days and 40 Nights in the Desert

President Bush vetoed the SCHIP bill this morning. Why? One of his reasons was the pricetag. What's the pricetag?

$12.2 billion.

That sounds like a ton of money. But let's put this in perspective.

$12.2 billion is the price of 41 days in Iraq.

In other words, stop spinning us a story, Mr. President.

Kudos to Max Baucus and Jon Tester for being leaders on this. A mild tip of the hat to Congressman Rehberg for coming around from calling the plan extremist to supporting it after public pressure. Now let's see if he can move his caucus.

Get your hat back on... (0.00 / 0)
Dennis the Menace was only covering his ass. He doesn't give a crap about kids or their health. He knew it would be better not to piss off Max, who as we saw is getting into to election mode, then be Bush's bitch. I wouldn't fret none, though. There is still plenty for Rubberstamp Rehberg to do.
