They Open Their Mouths and the Lies Fall Out

by John Cole

It just never stops:

I just love me some “self-correcting blogosphere”:

Did HHS sweep score under the rug? No

And Ben Smith finishes the nonsense off for good:

The Chief Medicare Actuary, Richard Foster, called “completely inaccurate” a report that the Department of Health and Human Services buried a report on health care in the days before a crucial vote.

I’m sure the wingnuts will all have corrections on their blogs in no time.

    I’m getting a little winded trying to keep up with you, bro! But, yeah, corrections are imminent. BTW aren’t these the same folks who swear we found the WMD’s in Iraq?

    True. At no time will they post a correction.

    Did you read the comments at the end of these articles? They don’t believe the reporting.

    Everything is a fake moon landing to these people.

    Pretty sure Richard Foster is the person behind Hawaii’s decision to not reveal they don’t really have an official birth certificate for Barack HUSSEIN Obama. It’s just more of the same from the MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE! Richard Foster also killed Vince Foster and caused Goldman Sachs to issue shitty deal mortgage derivatives to the general public because the unions paid them off. Connections, people! It’s all there for you to see! (Stealing Glenn Beck’s chalkboard talk for tomorrow.)

    Notice the good news in one of the articles below the top: the Democrat actually leads in polling for Governor of Arizona (although it is quite depressing that Brewer polls better after signing the odious immigration bill). Maybe, just maybe, a degree a sanity can be returned to the desert.

    Nice how this makes the rounds but Bush admin actually threatening a guy to withold the true Medicaire Part D pill bill cost was swept under the rug.

    I have noticed that much Repug behavior is projection – i.e. they accuse Dems of their own sins. The fact is that the Bush Administration did withhold a crucial report on costs of Medicare Part D until after the vote.

    From the WSJ (sent by my brother):

    When President Obama signed his health-care reform last month, he declared it will “lower costs for families and for businesses and for the federal government.” So why, barely a month later, are Democrats scrambling to pass a new bill that would impose price controls on insurance?

    And a bit later:

    National Democrats now want the power to do the same [have power to review rates] across the country, because they know how unrealistic their cost-control claims really are. Democrats are petrified they’ll get the blame they deserve when insurance costs inevitably spike. So the purpose of this latest Senate bill is to have a pre-emptive political response on hand.
