The first line says it all:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that Democrats would pursue a bruising, rarely-used parliamentary procedure to muscle health care legislation through the Senate over the vehement opposition of chamber Republicans.

You have to wonder if Michael Steel and Frank Luntz are perched on this guys shoulder whispering sweet nothings. Once again these class clowns are proving to be the water carriers for the Republican noise machine.

This all comes on the heels of the Politico announcing that the Healthcare summit was a "tie," but that means the Republicans won. His Democratic operatives (Fox news Democrats?) told Thrush this(note the Republican poll-tested words below)so it has to be fact. The beltway arbiters of what we should believe:

But in this case, the tie goes to Republicans, according to operatives on both sides of the aisle — because the stakes were so much higher for Democrats trying to build their case for ramming reform through using a 51-vote reconciliation tactic.

Never mentioning the Republicans abusing the filibuster. Heck, Bunning is putting a one man stop on benefits extensions, but that gets a low page byline.

The beltway boys of hysterical political tabloid sensationalism are at it again. We need to call out this Mickey Mouse shop for what it is: another arm of the Republican media. There is no excuse for using Republican memes verbatim and employing them as fact in articles posing as journalism.

Shameless...
