Brokaw sat in for David Gregory today. Nodding in total agreement with
Axlerod.

Then Rove got the spotlight...

MR. BROKAW: Well, he's changed that now because he's delayed his trip to
Indonesia, he's putting the pressure on Democratic leaders. If they get a
bill and it is a pared down bill, will the Republicans continue to run
against this come the fall, no matter what?

MR. ROVE: Well, it's not going to be a pared down bill. They're going to
pass this obnoxious Senate bill that was approved by the Senate on
Christmas Eve that is stuffed with pork and is a bill that the American
people--this is pretty remarkable. If you step back for a minute, it's a
pretty remarkable year that we've had, the, the concept of healthcare
reform had a 2-to-1 advantage when the process begin a year ago. Today,
if you ask over the last couple of weeks these questions and polls about
do you approve of the bill President Obama and the Democrats are pushing,
it is 60 percent disapprove, 38 percent approve. If you average all those
poll questions again, that's a pretty remarkable decline in support when
the president has dominated the stage with 52 addresses, including, you
know, a--two addresses to the congressional--to, to Congress.


And, even MORE AMAZING:


MR. BROKAW: But the fact of the matter is we don't know the exact
definition of the final bill because it'll go through this complicated
process, get to reconciliation, some of the costs will be addressed then.

MR. ROVE: Right. And, and isn't that amazing? We're asking people of
the U.S. House, House of Representatives not to vote on the bill but to
vote on a placeholder. And the final terms of this huge measure affecting
one-sixth of our economy will be defined later, perhaps in a, in a bill in
the Senate designed to circumvent the normal order of business. That's a
pretty remarkable way to try and go pass a big piece of legislation
without bipartisan support.



Brokaw thought he was going to put Rove on the spot, opened the door,
and...walked right into it.

What a great journalist!

You should feel sympathy for Brokaw, considering the way you get owned in
100% of the debates with which you get involved here.

Somehow, I think you have that slightly backwards. Mr. "I can't see spin
when it's pointed out to me."

Oh, I see. A typo. Here, I'll fix it for you

You've never pointed out spin. You've said "It's there, but you can't see
it." We all know why you do this.

To show how ignorant you are?

A lot of other people saw it.
