Republican hypocrisy is a given on virtually all issues, but rarely do we see such an extreme example. Andy Harris most of taken the wrong oath when he became a doctor: the hypocritical oath. In his campaign to become a Representative, he ran on a single issue, opposition to health care reform. When it comes to children having health care he says NO. Preexisting conditions? NO Employer mandate? NO He says that you and I don’t deserve health care coverage, but what about taxpayer funded healthcare for him?

According to an account from a Capitol Hill staffer in Politico, newly elected Maryland congressman Andy Harris — who ran on an anti-health care reform platform — wanted to know why it was taking so long for him to get his government-subsidized health care. He demanded to know during freshman orientation why his government health care wouldn’t kick in for a month , according to the account. It starts in February, a month after he’s sworn in, something he says is unusual and, according to one of his staffers, inefficient. He ousted the Eastern Shore Democrat Frank Kratovil even though he voted against the health care reform package. Harris wants to repeal the law. The staffer said Harris asked if he could buy insurance from the government to cover the month-long gap, and Politico said the aide "was struck by the similarity to Harris’s request and the public option he denounced as a gateway to socialized medicine."… [emphasis added]

Do you believe that? He wants the public option! Keith Olbermann and David Weigel tear him a new one.
