Theater of the Absurd

WSJ Best of the Web:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned up yesterday at the Washington conference of the National Association of Counties, and she engaged in a little cheerleading for ObamaCare:
You've heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don't know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention--it's about diet, not diabetes. It's going to be very, very exciting.

But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.

Yes, reader, she really said, "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." If you don't believe us, ask YouTube.

But why should she care what's in it? She's a member of Congress, and members of Congress have exempted themselves from ObamaCare, no matter what's in it. Their job is just to impose it on the rest of us.

Our ruling elite. What a bunch.

Why the HELL is nobody putting these people on the spot, demanding to know why it is that they have exempted themselves from Obama's wonderful health care system? I want to hear the answer to that.

Our media is more interested in Michelle Obama's arms, or the latest rumor about Michael Jackson coming back to life.
