National Review's Lowry falsely equates reconciliation and nuclear option in order to accuse Dionne of hypocrisy

Lowery is smarmy. What was really good about this show was when E.J. Dionne just laid it on the line to Senator Hatch and showed him for the lying hypocrite that he is. (Which might have put Lowery on the attack.) The fact remains that I, as a citizen, am fed up with all this debate on health care. I want the bill to pass! I want health care for the 31 million Americans who would gain coverage and for the untold millions who could loose coverage if the costs keep going up as they are. Secretary Sibelius also pointed out that insurance companies have been reporting record profits even as they raise costs, and have no explanation as to why they need to raise costs.

Every time I think of Lowry, I think of this:

A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it.

The man is a joke. He was flat out lying when he tried to conflate reconciliation and the "nuclear option." He knows it.

Rich Lowry is such anti-intellectual filth. He has a masculinity problem. He has a truth problem. He's got a lot of problems. He's a lost young, wingnut with delusions of becoming the next David Brooks.

How are seeing those starbursts from Sarah Palin's eyes working out for you, Lowry?

HA!!! Yea f'in right. We would have to strip every aspect of reform out of the bill, to get maybe ten repug votes at most. Of course, they would be the ones writing the bill and it would no longer be a reform bill.
