I can't quite get so outraged about this:
On his radio show Friday, Rush Limbaugh suggested that Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) would be dead by the time health care reform legislation passes. "Before it's all over, it'll be called the Ted Kennedy memorial health care bill," the talk show host says.I didn't mean it in the mean-spirited sense that he did, but... that exact thought has occurred to me more than once. In fact, it almost certainly was going to happen exactly that way- health care passing right after Ted's death the way the Civil Rights Act passed right after JFK's. But now that a stink has been raised over this, it probably won't. Posted by Stephen Silver at March 6, 2009 05:03 PM
