Liveblogging The Republicans Trying To Stop Obama From Turning On The Robots That Will Pry Medicare From Seniors’ Cold Dead Hands (Part IV)

by Juli Weiner  9:05 pm September 9, 2009

Do you know how many Americans have perished since Obama has pulled the plug on democracy? The answer is “countless.” Alternately: millions. Billions, even, if you count the poor ones that Obama is always so gay about counting. The GOP will now shuffle someone out, “Charles Boustany”, who will read the names of socialism’s victims to the tune of Rod Blagojevich singing Elvis B-sides. It will be America’s finest hour.

9:06 PM: “Afford” is the key word here, not “death robot.”
9:07 PM: Promised health care pun! “This is not just my diagnosis” but all Americans just hated this speech. It’s a medical fact.
9:08 PM: Obama totally missed his shot to change his mind about everything he was really never going to change his mind about.
9:09 PM: Dr. Charles Boustany operates on people who don’t even need it, all the time.
9:10 PM: It’s unfortunate, isn’t it?, Obama doesn’t want to allow Charles Boustany to import healthy patients from across state lines.
9:11 PM: Wonkette has diagnosed Charles Boustany with Stage LXIX Fag-itis. There is no cure.
9:12 PM: CNN is playing all the hits from the speech. They include: “Congress Isn’t Going to Deny You Care,” “Either Are Insurance Companies (As Soon As I Sign This Bill),” “Born to Run,” and “No One Should Go Broke Because They Get Sick.”
9:13 PM: (Your Wonkette liveblogist does not have the privilege—no the RIGHT—to watch anything but CNN, as there is a crucial Floor Meeting in her college dormitory that needs the teevee, for some reason.)
9:14 PM: What SHOCKS you, Paul Steinhauser?
9:16 PM: Public option is not a deal-breaker, this shocked me.
9:17 PM: No abortions, no death panels. There WAS John McCain though, which is… different?
9:18 PM: Who was the Lone Wingnut who yelled at Obama? Who even WAS that?
9:19 PM: It was a resounding cry of “You Lie!” It was the ghost of capitalism until proven otherwise.
9:20 PM: Some Republican members of the House brought signs, like to hold up… like while listening to our President.
9:21 PM: Boustany: the Republicans could not have gotten anyone better?
9:22 PM: No, they could not.
9:23 PM: Various Americans reacted in various ways to various parts of the speech!
9:24: CNN is now reading comments culled from its blog. These will now replace Charles Boustany describing his sick experiments on humans as the “official GOP reaction.”
9:25 PM: Okay enough! YOU ARE ALL LATE TO THE FLOOR MEETING. Go, go!

George Oscar Bluth September 9, 2009 at 9:18 pm

For those of you who switched off the teevee after Barry left the stage, below is a transcript of Charles Boustany’s speech.

“Not only am I a republican congressman, but you can also find me in the phone book under ‘Heart Surgery, Leeching, Colonoscopies and Fingerblasting’. Unfortunately, Bobby Jindal is currently performing exorcisms on women who aren’t interested in his creepy advances, so I’m here to tell you that this colored man unequivocally wants to take control of your health care and kill the olds. Go to http://www.conservativepropaganda.gop.com to get the REAL story.”

Pilate September 9, 2009 at 9:19 pm

“Addison Graves Wilson, Sr.(born July 31, 1947) is Republican politician from the U.S. state of South Carolina, currently representing the state’s 2nd congressional district (map), in the U.S. House of Representatives. The district is based in the state capital, Columbia, and stretches to the resort towns of Beaufort and Hilton Head Island. He is a douchebag that called the President of the United States a liar on national television and has no respect for the office he holds.”

I fucking heart Wikipedia.

This is so sad: five minutes into his “response” to the President’s speech, the Repug douchebag says the plan will force people to switch to “government-run healthcare” Hussein never said that in his speech. I watche dthe speech. He never, never said that. In fact, he said people who have coverage today won’t lose it nor will they be forced to switch to anything they don’t want to. I just can’t believe the Repug douchebag said what he said with a straight face.

The House bill, H.R. 3200, excludes anyone who is not a legal resident of the United States from coverage of extended insurance provisions. Section 246 reads, “Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.”

And for idiots who claim the illegals are ruining our health care the American Hospital Association did a study that shows only 9% of illegals in the United States use the emergency room as opposed to 22% of the legal citizens. And based on my experience the hospital staff will do everything it can to get whatever money you have from you to pay for their services. Which are priced much, much higher than an HMO or group practice. And ERs are only required to stabilize an emergency medical condition, nothing more.

Jeez, you’d think Obama was going to free the slaves or something.

Athar September 9, 2009 at 10:03 pm

President Obama gave a magnificent speech! One of the best I’ve ever had the honor to hear.

I especially liked the part where he noted that although his plan would likely cost 900 billion over ten years, that is not as much as either the Iraq war or the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy have already cost us.

The Republicans have nothing to respond with, all they can do is throw out more of the same tired, lying bullshit. They lost big tonight, and 99.9 percent of Americans won just as big.

imissopus September 9, 2009 at 10:04 pm

Yawn. This is predictable as a sunrise. Tomorrow Rush will say that he’s glad Joe Wilson called the president a liar because the president IS a liar, he lies about everything, so why is everyone so upset? Then ThinkProgress and Media Matters will get all in a huff over Rush saying it and the dude over at the Washington Monthly will write something indignant and Shouty Keith will name Rush the day’s Worst Person in the World, and five minutes later we’ll be onto yelling about something else. Meanwhile everyone in Congress will be quietly assuring the lobbyists that none of the industry-unfriendly reforms Hopey proposed tonight will ever see the light of day.

President Barack Obama boldly declared that he will push massive healthcare legislation through Congress with or without the help of the Republican Party Wednesday night.

Here’s the letter I sent to Joe Douchebag Wilson. Oddly, his home page states it is down for maintenance. Damn those socialist webmasters!

Dear Congressman Wilson:

I appreciate your zeal on behalf of the insurance companies and the health corporations. I hope tour shameless outburst tonight nets you more than the paltry $50,000 you have managed to whore out of them in the past 12 months.

I say this with all sincerity. I hope that you will quickly become their favorite lapdog, so that you will leave Congress as soon as possible and pursue a career as a pimp on their behalf. Then you can tell your children and grandchildren about how you valiantly strove to deny basic health care to millions, so that you could get a second house and a yacht.

Has your greed no bounds? At long last, sir, have you finally abandoned all decency?

Fox News, in its attempt to be fair and balanced, on Gretta’s show they had the balanced lineup of Pete Hoekstra (R – Nutsville), Griff Jenkins (R – O’Reilly’s Nut Sack) interviewing teabaggers, Rick Santorum (R-Animal Love), and and Tim Pawlenty (R – Falling Bridge) on to discuss Obama’s speech. And, really, how can you get any more balanced than three Republican’s and teabaggers? To think that O’Reilly says that Gretta is proof of balance on Fox News.

The scary thing was there were some non-teabaggers in the bar where they were interviewing the teabaggers and said they are open to Obama’s ideas. Gretta was so unprepared for a pro-Obama voice that her first question to Griff after his interviews was “But have you run into any pro-Obama people?”

Mr. President Borat Obama
President House, Ghastly White Paint
Washington, D.C., USA

Dear President Borat,

Jagshemash, my cousin!

You make Healthy-time on Glacial TV tonight! Jagshemash! I watch you here in Kazahkstan, with pirate feed from GI base in so-called Afghan-I-shit Republic.

I don’t understand people who don’t have healthy-care. They get free healthy-care any time they go to E.R., which is very big here on pirate-feed. Hey, ES LA LEY, says wall! Not your fault, comes from big gang of U.S. Senate peoples. No one denied, even if they speak English, like me. Jaghsemash! So, we have to make them pay, or tax their job-boss? Or send their healthy-care bills to Mexico, the black hole of international mail?

Just like Kazahkstan, with cleanest whores in Central Asia, everyone get healthy-time care in USA. Whatta ‘bout sexy-time healthy-time care? Not a problem in Kazahkstan, but big problem in Washington, no?

I embarrass, please forgive. I will not have sexy-time with your daughters, except at gunpoint from my friend, Azamat, for at least seven years, eight months, and twenty-six days. And wait (almost) three years for the other one, my brother!

I am on-water-board, as you say, about sexy-time with Michelle. I swear use condom, repeatedly, with her. Healthy-time for all!

Just one little request. My cousin getting married Saturday. Could you keep drones in New York City, just for that day? It can be our secret. Don’t tell CIA, they baaaaaad.

Jagshemash!

Borat

Never in the history of our great nation has anyone ever dissed the preznit like that before (in a joint session of Congress). Oh, the shame.

[re=407426]hobospacejunkie[/re]: They also have taxes taken out of their paychecks that they won’t ever get any back. The illegals I’ve met here in Austin only want to work hard, stay out of trouble and send their money back home. And back a number of years ago I was out of work and a friend who worked with a guy from Mexico took me out to eat & drink a few beers. When he got ready to leave my buddy gave me $5 and when the guy from Mexico looked at him he explained, ‘mi amigo no trabajo.’ The illegal then pulled out his wallet and offered me a $20. He had a $20 and 2 ones in there. I replied, ‘gracious, pero no’ and he insisted I take his pack of cigarettes and a few beers. Which I did. If it comes down to it I’ll take my chances with anyone who’ll walk across a desert or pay more money than I have to a coyote just to get to a place where he can work a shitty, low-wage job over a self-entitled, ‘native’ American patriot.

Just sayin.’

But the consistently good tippers (or at least the ones you didn’t have to drive across town to a gated community to) came in three flavors. There were the dealers, who had large wads of large bills, the strippers with large wads of small bills (and you really didn’t want to think about where those bills had been), but the biggest and most consistent tippers were the ones who spoke broken English or no English or had their kids do the English speaking for them. They were the lone oases in low-rent apartment complexes filled with purebred American stiffs.
