Obama administration: Massachusetts endorsed health plan by electing Repub who vowed to defeat it
The Cinch Review ^ | 01/24/2010 | Cinch

And, as you do watch it -- and in between busting your ribs with laughter -- please realize that the utterly illogical position which Dean is taking on the Massachusetts election result has become -- as of today, apparently -- the official position of the Barack Obama administration.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth is now incarnated in the White House.

To paraphrase an old ‘60s bumper sticker, it’s like having sex to preserve virginity.

Before long, Bobby Gibbs is going to start telling anyone who doubts Obama is “just a poopyhead”.

Yeah, like Elin Nordegren smacked Tiger upside the head with his own golf club because she was just so thrilled to hear about his affair(s) with Rachel Uchitel...

Cheers!

If it were any state but MA, I’d say it’s absurd. But what have they done that’s not absurd?
