Top Republican says health bill will 'ream' Americans

By GottaLaff



A ream is a wish your heart makes....

The House Democratic healthcare reform bill is going to "ream" the American people, according to Energy and Commerce ranking member Joe Barton (R-Texas.)

Just keep ignoring the reaming we've gotten up to this point, and the reaming we'll continue to get, times infinity, if we don't get a strong public option. Ream on, Rushpublics...

"Nineteen hundred and ninety pages, that's about four reams of paper, I can say that the people who are getting reamed are the American people," Barton said at a press conference surrounded by fellow top-ranking House Republicans.

Oh, the cleverness of Barton! It hurts! Ya see what he did there? He oughta be on Leno. What a wit!

As Progressive Pam said on Twitter:

GOP released new hcr plan on one tweet: 1. Tax cuts for the rich. 2. Tort reform for the poor. 3. Beg for charity.

Short and tweet.
