Following HotAir and Fox, Dobbs complains Senate Finance health bill "would take a week" to read at "rate of two minutes per page"

Jesus, what does Dobbs want? A bill that is one paragraph long but does everything the Administration wants it to do? I mean, I get it that stupid demagogues like things simple, but some things are complicated, Lou.

Thanks Mr. Doughy Pantload, I expect you to read it for us since you do nothing all day. When is CNN going to fire this guy?

Don't worry Lou, you can always pick up the Coles Notes version.

When your complaints about national legislation that effects 1/6 of the U.S. economy is based on the # of pages it contains, you simply expose yourself as someone who is not to be taken seriously.

I suggest they stop complaining and start reading, I thought complaining about homework stopped in school. His comparison with that bible is the worst. That book is long and I don't personally know anyone who has read the whole thing ever.

Maybe it's because when I learned (taught myself) to read, I showed my father I could read by reading off billboards while we were driving somewhere and thus became a 'speed reader'
[Disclaimer: reading speed about 600 words/minute, with average speed about 300-400 wpm]
So, even a small print, narrow margin book I'm reading runs about 30 seconds to one minute per page. Therefore, the average reader should take one minute to a possible two minutes per page. I also have high comprehension of what I read, and can even 'scan' a book (did it for writing a biography of Sammy Davis, Jr. for a radio show) at about 1500 wpm (!).
Of course, one would only read something if they thought it was important.

Well, let's see. Information I found put reading speed for comprehension at 200-400 words per minute. Let's take the low end of that, at 200 WPM.

# of pages of bill: about 1500
# of words per page: about 130
# of pages read per minute: 1.5 (and some change)
Number of minutes to read bill: 1000
# of hours: 16.7 hours
# of days (assuming 8 hour workdays): 2.7, we'll round to 3.

Lou, wrong again.
