Well, the much bally-hooed Kabuki Health Summit is over. I watched a little bit of it because with the Mainstream Conservative Corporate Media (M2CM) actually calling it "political theater" outright and them being wrong about almost everything, I kinda sorta thought there might really be something to it. I was wrong and for once the M2CM was right.
There was nothing to it but the Democrats' attempt to show the country that the Pubs are obstructionist assholes, which the GOP members attending promptly did their best to prove, bragging about what heroes they are for not letting Obama's socialist nightmare become law. ("Socialist nightmare" is now officially defined as anything govt does to interfere with corporate commission of blackmail, bribery, or looting of public and private money that does not currently already belong to them using any trick, deceit, lie, or unethical/illegal practice that may occur to them, and/or to any govt policy that might tend to reverse the upward flow of wealth and send it sliding back down the pyramid to the mob/hoi-polloi/pee-ons/rabble [that's us they're talking about, Slim] at the bottom of the food chain.)
Of course, the mere fact that nothing whatever of news value came from this exercise didn't stop the M2CM from pretending that something of significance went on. David Herzenhorn at the NYT, in a desperate attempt to come up with something worth reporting, decided that the summit proved that reconciliation was the only Dem option.
