The Healthcare Follies Continue

The left is trying to get Joe Lieberman's wife fired? What's next, poisoning the family dog?

Dude, there's a reason you're losing the healthcare debate, but I'm relatively certain it has nothing to do with the wife of any particular Senator. But attack his wife -- I'm sure that will make him much more likely to vote for any bill. It'll also allow me to refer to the left as McCarthyite.

Meanwhile, Steve Benen realizes a tactical error by the left, noting that the Dems' enthusiasm for the Medicare buy-in clued in Lieberman that it was yet another Trojan horse for nationalized health care. Of course, Benen thinks this makes Lieberman a bitter guy intent on screwing the Left. Perhaps it just makes him smart enough to realize he should not give them something they'll make more awful in the future.
