Republicans, you do not know your countrymen

Keith Olbermann summarizes pretty much everything I feel and think concerning the passage of healthcare reform and the present – and future – of the Republican Party. Having previously taken a short leave following the departure of his ailing father (see this), he’s certainly taken the path of coming back with a bang.

My favorite bit, directed at House Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner (R-OH):

“Failed, Mr. Boehner! Ya lost! Ya blew it! “Shame on each and every one of you who substitute your will and your desires above those of your fellow countrymen,” you said last night, just before the vote. The “will and desire of your countrymen”, Mr. Boehner? You’re one of the leaders of a party that, in four years: coughed up the Senate majority, coughed up the House majority, coughed up the White House, coughed up healthcare reform, and along the way, ignored every poll and every election result – I would think that the “will and desires of your fellow countrymen” should be pretty damn clear by now: your countrymen think your policies are of the past and your tactics are of the gutter!”

Fuck … yeah.
