#2 Kathy,

1) Strike the keys on your keyboard one at a time. Works better that way.

2) Whether Mr. Gergen 'turned' on Obama is a rhetorical phrase. What matters is that he, and many others, are beginning to see that yawing deficit that the health care reform plan, and most especially the "public option", will generate. We have reason to worry.

#4 I have long thought that Gergen was a mole sent to the Democrats to be a deep insider. First of all, his education tracks almost ideally to be CIA, and he was first recruited by Nixon, which would mean a "deep reliability" test by J. Edgar Hoover. Granted, Hoover missed John Dean.

But Gergen stuck with Nixon, Ford and Reagan, with H.W. Bush, who remember had been head of CIA. He was very mole conscious and would have all staffers vetted before becoming insiders.

Gergen sweet talked his way into a lateral transfer into the Democrat leadership. If they had half a brain, there is no way they would trust him any more than a live scorpion in their underwear.

#5 Pfft. Anonymoose, you give him too much credit. He's just pissed he didn't get a post.

Also, he probably smells the blood in the water.

#6 > As vital and as morally right as it is to extend health insurance to everyone in need

Is it? Is it morally right to punish the well for the actions of the sick? No it's not!
