Jim Geraghty, "The Campaign Spot" @ National ReviewOn MSNBC, Kelly O'Donnell reports the White House is open to taxing soda and booze to pay for health care....MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall refers to "food deserts" where soda is the only beverage, claiming that 600,000 live in the South Side of Chicago, where their only food-purchase option is from convenience stores. These convenience stores sell no juice, no bottled water, no milk, no iced tea?
No beer? No malt liquor or Boone's Farm or hard booze? No Gatorade???
Nothing but soda?
Now Donny Deutsch and his co-anchor Hall are shouting at and over each other; she claims he doesn't care about the poor,
"Wine-sipping elitist!"
he suggests she's a pawn of McDonald's
"You frachised frymonger!"
and junk-food companies.
"You potato-chip pusher! You're a corporate hamburglar robbing children of their future!"
"Oh, go suck on your low-cal arugula, Limo-Babe."
"Why don't you just toss those poor African-American children in the deep fryer--it'll be quicker than the slow death by Quarter-Pounder you've condemned them to!"
"What would you do-shove escargot and Evian down kids' throats in school cafeterias?"
"Well, you'd make Mayor Dailey into Mayor McCheese!"
"Shut up, brie-brain!"
Poor Kelly O'Donnell shrugs uncomfortably.
