Althouse points to a NYT article bemoaning the “uncertainty” that would befall the nation if Obamacare were to be struck down.  After all, we’ve already been implementing the bureaucracy for two years.  So it’s obviously too late to declare it unconstitutional.

Consider the argument — featured in the NYT — that it’s too late to strike down Obamacare, because so much work and planning and money has already been sunk into implementing it. And yet some experts say that the”important dialogue that has happened over the last three and a half years” will make it “easier for Congress or the states to revisit the issue.”

This ridiculous argument brings to mind the scene from Christmas Vacation where Cousin Eddie explains how best to deal with a ‘Mississippi Leg Hound’.  This is the sophisticated, nuanced liberal mind we have heard so much about.

If a dog is humping your leg its best to just let him finish:

If only Sarah Palin had run … – CNN.com

It didn’t have to be this way. If Sarah Palin had entered the contest, I’d hypothesize two alternative realities. One, she’d have the nomination sewn up by now. Two, she’d be running even in the polls with the president.

What have proved to be problems for the top three candidates wouldn’t have been problems for Palin. For starters, she has none of Newt Gingrich’s intellectual hubris. There’s no way Palin would have promised to put a mine on the moon or suggest arresting judges who make decisions that are too liberal. Her conservatism is far more domestic and down-to-Earth.

If ObamaCare falls, liberals might push for greater government control of health care « Hot Air Headlines

If Democrats make little progress on alternatives, some purists might decide it’s best to just renew the case for a single-payer system in which all Americans receive health care paid for by the government.

This is the Mississippi Leg Hound defense of Obamacare.

From HotAir.com (full story at link) comes the Ugly Comment of the Week from abortion advocate Jessica DelBalzo:

 

Abortion advocate: I love abortion and I don’t want it to be “rare” « Hot Air

“I love abortion. I don’t accept it. I don’t view it as a necessary evil. I embrace it. I donate to abortion funds. I write about how important it is to make sure that every woman has access to safe, legal abortion services. I have bumper stickers and buttons and t-shirts proclaiming my support for reproductive freedom. I love abortion,”

Please stop sexualizing Meghan McCain. She’s a strong woman with a strong opinion.

Well she’s about to be asked about an alleged intellectual hero, Hunter S. Thompson. Since this is about her current “job” as some kind of pundit, I’m sure she’ll leave sex out of this and just talk about Serious Things. Because she’s a strong woman with a strong opinion.

 

Let’s talk about the real issues, Mr. President « Hot Air Headlines

Just off the top of my head, a few of these concerning issues include:

  • a debt crisis that has us hurdling towards a Greek-style collapse, 
  • entitlement programs going bankrupt, 
  • a credit downgrade for the first time in our history, 
  • a government takeover of the health care industry that makes care more expensive and puts a rationing panel of faceless bureaucrats between you and your doctor (aka a “death panel”), 
  • $4 and $5 gas at the pump exacerbated by an anti-drilling agenda that rejects good paying energy sector jobs and makes us more dependent on dangerous foreign regimes, 
  • a war in Afghanistan that seems unfocused and unending, 
  • a global presidential apology tour that’s made us look feeble and ridiculous, 
  • a housing market in the tank, 
  • the longest streak of high unemployment since World War II, 
  • private-sector job creators and industry strangled by burdensome regulations and an out-of-control Obama EPA, 
  • an attack on the Constitutional protection of religious liberty, 
  • an attack on private industry in right-to-work states, 
  • crony capitalism run amok in an administration in bed with their favored cronies to the detriment of genuine free market capitalism, 
  • green energy pay-to-play kickbacks to Obama campaign donors, 
  • and a Justice Department still stonewalling on a bungled operation that armed violent Mexican drug lords and led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.

I’m sure I missed a few things, but the list is just for starters. Along with millions of others, I’m willing and free to discuss these issues with the President anywhere, anytime

I guess Sarah Palin doesn’t realize that there is a War On Womyn.
