Wednesday Quotables

Presenting the latest rubbish from politicos and Leftmedia talking heads.

Demo-gogues

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: “[I]t breaks your heart to see what is happening [to illegal immigrants]. It’s not the right thing. It’s not who we are as Americans. … We would frankly … like to move on and pass comprehensive immigration reform so that the problem is put to rest.  In the meantime, 1,100 people, on average [are being deported each] day. It’s just wrong.”

Dezinformatsia

Barbara Walters: “We thought that [Obama] was going to be – I shouldn’t say this at Christmastime, but – the next messiah.”

From the ‘Non Compos Mentis’ File

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “Hillary [Clinton] is a Patriot who loves her country completely. Her deep commitment to public service and progressive causes runs through her veins. … I was an early and enthusiastic supporter during Hillary’s run for the White House in 2008. I believed she would be a spectacular leader and a transformative president for our country. I still believe that. Now more than ever.”

Braying Jenny

Bloomberg columnist Caroline Baum with an O'Care promotional idea: “[A]nnounce and advertise that everyone between the ages of 18 and 34 who enrolls on the health-care exchanges by the end of the year is automatically entered in a lottery. Winners will receive everything from a free iPhone or iPad to a full-year of health-care underwritten by Uncle Sam. Refer a friend and get a discount. Buy one (year), get one free. In states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use … by all means, throw in a bag of cannabis.”

The BIG Lie

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius: “I think that the statement about keeping your plan was one that is applicable to the vast majority of Americans in the health insurance market. What we know is that we also designed the implementation of the Affordable Care Act to make sure that plans that were in place in March of 2010 … were actually eliminated from needing to conform to any of the consumer protections in the 2014 Affordable Care Act. So a number of customers in the individual market had those grandfathered plans in place. It varies by company and by market.”

Village Idiots

Kathleen Sebelius: “There are some individuals who may be looking at increases. I think you cannot make a statement based on cost unless you compare what they had to what they’re going into.”

Short Cuts

Comedian Jay Leno: “Over the weekend the Obamacare website was down. Fortunately, most Americans were unaffected because they never knew it was up.”
