Just as Blue Dog Demo-Dopes begin to cave on Dear-Dope-a-care, the Dear Leader himself has become a one man wrecking ball on his own #1 issue. D2 is on rock tour trying to gin up support for the 1,000 or so page bill that nobody including himself has bothered to read. Even as he tries harder and harder to convince people that Dear-Dope-a-care is just what the Dr. ordered, more and more Americans are discovering that the Dear Dope is just acting stupidly when he tries to explain why they should scrap the best health care system in the world in favor of something the Dear Dope and Nanny Peloser dreamed up.
The Dear Dope said recently that government doesn’t want to get between you and your Dr. and then added although insurance companies get between you and your health care all of the time. But at the same the Dearest of Dopes says that the government will monitor health care and year to year recommend the best practices. So how is that going to work?
Say an 87 year old woman has a bad heart. Dr. X does what Dear-Dope-a-care requires and gives the woman increasing doses of pain medication and dies in 9 months. Dr. Y performs a heart transplant and the woman lives another 5 years. How will the Dear-Dope-a-care professionals score the outcome of the two treatments?
Well the Dear-Dope says that #1 problem with health care is the cost. So a heart transplant and the required 5 year after care bill will score well below the make the patient comfortable and let her die scenario. When the Dear Dope spoke stupidly about Dr. pulling out kid’s tonsils “unnecessarily,” he gave a hint as to how Dear-Dope-a-care would manage patient care. “Give the kids two aspirin and some throat lozenges. Call me in the morning if his fever spike above 104. No I don’t care that this Jr.’s 8th sore throat this month. Move on now. Next patient, please.”
As long as you do not need a Dr. at any point in your life – particularly in the later stages – except for the exorbitant tax cost, Dear-Dope-a-care will be prefect for you.

In the presser on healthcare D2 applied his professorial reasoning to it, which means it lacked pragmatic detail. Then when asked about the arrest of Prof Gates by Sgt Crowley he first said that he did not know the facts, called the Cambridge Police stupid, then professed that racial profiling was involved. Not knowing a subject does not seem to prevent D2from professing his idealogies to the world. The lesson here is to get arrested by a cop, claim racial profiling, and have a beer at the White House. Law and order has been been gaffed and Chris Mathews will have two-leg-tinglings later in the day as the kegger photos are presented. The Griffin.
