The GOP Plan On The Medicare Compromise

Ladies and gentlemen, Glennsanity.
On his radio show today, Fox News host Glenn Beck called Medicare what it is — a “government-run health care plan.”

Beck attacked the new compromise and proposed a simple solution of his own — “abolish Medicare”:
CO-HOST: This is unbelievable, because the whole thing with the public option, is we were saying this is going to be like Medicare, they just want to make a big — make another Medicare program. And then they said no, public option is just competition.
BECK: And, wait wait wait. And I also said why don’t you just abolish Medicare, because it’s so wildly corrupt and out of control. It’s so inefficient, it is so bad and there’s $47 billion in suspected wrong payments, okay, in Medicare. So what are they saying — now remember, what we’re going to do — the compromise is we’re going to expand Medicare. That way there won’t be a public option, we’ll just — which doesn’t make any sense — we’re going to expand Medicare.

Nice.  We have now gone full circle on this merry-go-round cavalcade of crapulence.  When it comes to killing Obamacare or throwing the elderly under the bus, Glenn Beck doesn't even hesitate before pitching them on the tracks.
Death panels for the elderly are evil...but not as evil as government-run health care Medicare!

    Tiger Woods Taking 'Indefinite Break From Professional Golf'

    http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/12/tiger-woods-taking-indefinite-break-from-professional-golf.php

    In a statement just posted on his website, Tiger Woods announced that he's taking "an indefinite break from professional golf."

    Woods has been dogged by rumors and allegations of infidelity in the days after his car accident in Florida late last month.

    Woods acknowledged the infidelity in his statement: "I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children."


    The drama began last month when Woods drove his SUV into a fire hydrant and his neighbor's tree before being admitted to the hospital. There has been quite a bit of speculation about what role Woods' infidelity played in the accident and its aftermath.

    The Florida Highway Patrol announced on December 1 that Woods would receive a careless driving citation but would not be charged criminally.
