Then I'm Johnny Literal too, because I also thought you meant that she really laughed for a minute.

Ed, you've been awfully mean lately.

I'm a progressive and a public option supporter and I'm still calling you on grossly mischaracterizing Jenkins' speech.

The proper response from the uninsured working mother to Rep. Jenkins would have been, "Well, Representative Jenkins, these people pay for YOUR health insurance!"

Hey johnny literal, sometimes the phrase "for a minute" is used without reference to a specific unit of time.

Where is this minute long laughing in the Lynn Jenkins video?

Aslan and Cyntax: No disrespect, but I think Gore Vidal put it slightly better than you: a single party with two right wings, Democratic and Republican.

American democracy: Two parties – for one class!

As we hear rumblings of Obama euthanizing the public option in his speech next week, it sure looks that way.

One more thing - it's pretty also pretty hilarious that 2nd commenter in first link above is evoking these images of Democrats "hiding under their desks" and not reading legislation before voting on it, because uh...
