Wednesday Short Cuts

Meanwhile, Sen. Warren says, “I’ve read the Republican ‘health care’ bill. This is blood money.” We think she doth protest too much.

Insight: “The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in their possession any swords, bows, spears, firearms, or other types of arms. The possession of these elements makes difficult the collection of taxes and dues, and tends to permit uprising.” —Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598) (It’s almost as if the Founders’ knew their history…)

For the record: “[ObamaCare] offers ‘access’ by threatening and forcing people to buy insurance. This is tantamount to celebrating an increase in military recruitment after passing a draft.” —David Harsanyi

Non Compos Mentis: “I’ve read the Republican ‘health care’ bill. This is blood money. They’re paying for tax cuts with American lives.” —Elizabeth Warren

Braying Jenny: “Forget death panels. If Republicans pass this bill, they’re the death party.” —Hillary “Abortion on Demand” Clinton

Alpha Jackass: “Mitch McConnell is a terrorist. [Donald Trump] is a terrorist. This bill terrorizes people and sentences poor people to death.” —filmmaker Josh Fox

A rare voice of reason: “The DNC wanted the message to be, ‘The ACA is working fine,’ and don’t talk about the warts. I said I can’t do that because it’s failing my constituents in a lot of ways.” —Dem Rep. Tim Walz

Irony alert: “There are facts here that should be alarming to us as a country that falls short of facts that would establish a basis for impeachment or for prosecution.” —Sally Yates, the acting attorney general who lost her job for defying Rule of Law

Wishful thinking: “Our trustworthiness today is the same as it was a year ago, before people in high offices started questioning it. We know that through our own brand research. Just because somebody says you are not trustworthy, that doesn’t mean it is so.” —CNN president Jeff Zucker

And last… “Politicians like to defend some law on the grounds that ‘if it saves just one life, it’s worth it.’ But by that logic we should make the speed limit 5 mph. That would surely save lives. Are you a murderer if you oppose such a move?” —Jonah Goldberg
