I'm going to surprise you Repubs and go ahead and disagree a little bit here with Waldman. Just a little. Because liberals were pretty angry at Bush for a long time. Not at this level of spitting, red-faced rage straight from the get-go of his presidency, mind you, but we were pretty angry too. The question Waldman asks, that is fair to ask, is: Will you guys calm down just a little after you "win" the health-care battle in Congress? 'Cos it looks like you're gonna get your way: state co-ops, no public option, no single payer, no mandatory coverage, only voluntary cost-cutting measures from Big Pharma, etc.
Check your pulse and blood pressure before & after. If there is no change, then maybe your anger is due to things you don't have a right to be angry about.
His comments about Glenn Beck are dead-on though. That guy is a shameless turd. A turd that makes itself cry.
