A Message from Congressman Anthony Weiner
Much of the debate on health care has been passionate, loud and partisan. I don’t mind any of that. I want passion and I don’t mind a little volume. As they say in Brooklyn: it’s all good.
What none of us should be happy about is the outright fiction that some players in this debate have engaged in.
There is no bigger fibber in this than Betsy McCaughey. If you don’t know her, she is the creator of the “death panel” myth. Last night I debated her and this morning I gave her a second chance. It’s said that a lie gets halfway around the world before a truth gets its pants on. In this case, I think the truth won.
Anthony
