1. Insurance companies are popping the champagne right about now

drooling at the thought of millions of 'mandated' customers. :puke: :grr: :argh:

[robinlynne]

2. sounds great, but she just stripped the Kucinich ammendment out of the bill,

which would permit states to have single payer health care. That ammendment was approved by 2/3 of the committee.

4. Somebody's got a gun to her head again.

Don't do it Nancy. Step down as Speaker if you don't have the ovaries to do the job.

[liberation]

5. Maybe it is the opposite, maybe they threatened from taking the gun from her head...

... the botox gun that is.

Was she being sarcastic re the insurance companies? I have no clue sans the context for this clip.

10. I dn't know why you had to make the botox comment.

So what if she uses botox for her wrinkles? If she didn't use it, you'd probably have made a statement about her being old and wrinkly and needing to retire.



Other than that, I agree with your comment. It looks to be sarcasm but you really can't tell because there's no context.

8. Whats stopping him from introducing it on the floor if he has the votes??

.

[Kolesar]

3. what was said off camera? eom

[Clintonista2]

11. I believe there were anti-reform protestors

[Dookiestix]

6. Sarcastic, perhaps...

...and yet highly revealing nonetheless. American insurance companies are about to make a fortune.

7. It was a JOKE! I loved it.

She loved it!

[donheld]

9. It's meaningless without context.
