Here’s another installment in the weekly spin around the Sunday Circuit. In the wake of the “bipartisan health care reform summit” you had to know it would be the topic du jouir, and you probably could have guessed at least one elected official certain to grace the Sunday Stage. You guessed… Tweedle Dee (Dumb) was back – and yes I know that I am still calling him by both the new and old name – some habits are just hard to kill. Being “misinformed” about the target of the stimulus is still me laugh, so I’m reluctantly holding on to Tweedle Dee as well. The stars of the summit – Marsha Blackburn, Paul Ryan, Lamar Alexander, and Tom Coburn were out in full force and the White House chose to prance out the health care CZAR for good measure. Meet the Press doesn’t even refer to her by name on its website. I think that should tell you something about the administration’s position on trying to get its message out. Its a done deal folks…
MEET THE PRESS
“I’m glad that it happened… It was a “good forum… I hope its the basis for us to have some serious negotiations.”

Health Care CZAR – so that’s who this is??? btw… She says they will have the votes in Congress… they don’t have them yet, and that the President will have more to say about both this week. Why the hell does he send these people here to say that he will say crap?

ROUND TABLE RAMBLINGS…
This one was a round table on steroids… not because it was worthwhile or even loaded with substance, but check out how many people they packed around this table… PS… Is anyone else tired of seeing Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz on every program? I can’t wait for health care reform debates to be over just so she can go back to being a nodody…

FACE THE NATION
Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND), Tom Coburn (R-OK), and Representative Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
Hoyer – “We’re going to move ahead and make sure that all Americans have access to health care…” – will someone please tell me what moving ahead means…
Kent Conrad – “Reconciliation cannot be used to pass comprehensive health care reform. It wasn’t designed for that. It was designed for deficit reduction.” – It would be used for SIDE CAR ISSUES – not the whole package.
