Default yeah, so, big deal, right?

Well, so Hillary has two more competitors, it seems....

Let's see, Biden and Kucinich offered up their respective health-care plans today. (wait, this gets funny real fast).....

So, Kucinich offers his, in a speech in front of the Kaiser Family Foundation. You know, hospital guys, right? They have lots of money, so they give some of it away, and they're also very influential on capitol hill -

So Kucinich waltzes in with these guys, and basically tells 'em he wants to un-privatize and socialize all the hospitals - put 'am all under government control -

And then, when he's asked how he's going to pay for it, he starts talking about the war in Iraq, and then, when one of the Kaiser folks asked him to stick to the topic, he said, "well, you can't separate those topics"....

I mean, talk about walking into the lion's den - he's either got stones the size of the sun, or, he's the stupidest man on the planet. Maybe both - sometimes those traits go together, know what I mean?

So Biden - who's a very smart man - his plan actually sounds pretty good. And he's even got a credible way to pay for it.

So yeah, so the "information bomb" - Hillary's people apparently weren't expecting any competition "so soon" (I mean, 'cause they think the Romney thing is a non-starter with the American People, and I can't say I blame 'em for that perspective, after what happened with Medicare Part D - 'course now, Hillary wants to make it even worse by adding yet another gigantic freakin' entitlement.......)

And, on the Rep side, Romney is the only one with a health care plan, right? None of the rest of those guys seem to care about health care, they seem to care more about privatizing Social Security and arresting illegal aliens and stuff like that.

Seems both sides were trying to figure out what to do with this one - 'cause for Hillary it means she needs numbers now (which she hasn't had so far), and for the Reps it means they need a plan.
