One Republican's sophistry on SCHIP
Behold the asshattery of Rep. Steve King (R-Douchesack, Iowa).
Everyone knows, of course, that Bush's SCHIP veto was sustained today by King, 150 other Republicans and two Democrats not to stop the nation's inexorable slide toward "socialized medicine" but because that money would pay for almost three whole months of military operations in Iraq.
And that's much more important than a bunch of poor sick kids.
