THIS IS LITERALLY THE HEALTH CARE PLAN

by Jim Newell

2:33 pm July 17, 2009

  • QUOTE OF THE DAY: From an alleged medical doctor on Fox News: “I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie Bruno, but there’s a scene there where Sacha Baron Cohen invites Paula Abdul to be interviewed on chairs made out of Mexicans. And that’s exactly what the Obama or the congressional plan does.” [Think Progress]

So I assume this means the “doctor” is in favor of the plan?

Dave J. July 17, 2009 at 2:38 pm

Such disrespect to Judge Sotomayor.

Min July 17, 2009 at 2:38 pm

My eyes just rolled so far back that I can see my own shoulder blades.

Johnny Zhivago July 17, 2009 at 2:39 pm

Yeah, Lowes and Home Depot both had the new chairs made from Mexicans when I was shopping last week, but none of them go with the rest of my patio furniture, which is made from Chinese political prisoners.

Gopherit July 17, 2009 at 2:40 pm

hahahahahahaha!!!!! I live in arizona, and I can tell you one thing, Mr, errm “Dr” Goldberg, no mexican would stoop so low.

Also, bonus point for racial sensitivity, Fox News style.

orange July 17, 2009 at 2:42 pm

I though Swedes made the best chairs.

Crab1 July 17, 2009 at 2:42 pm

lolwut!

the problem child July 17, 2009 at 2:42 pm

The best I can make out from that is we will be harvesting organs from illegal immigrants? Or using them as examining tables. I’m confused.

Holy Cow!! July 17, 2009 at 2:42 pm

It’s hard to determine which I hate most Ron Paul, Fox or Bruno.

Come here a minute July 17, 2009 at 2:43 pm

Obama you got some splainin to do. Now New Yorexican Maria Sotomayor will bring a gun to the health care debate and shoot Tom Coburn.

Lionel Hutz Esq. July 17, 2009 at 2:45 pm

I think from now on all policy and medical decisions must be made by allusions to Borat or Bruno.

facehead July 17, 2009 at 2:47 pm

I was really scared about Barney Frank doing my colonoscopy, but now that I know Paula Abdul is doing it I feel much better.

Hopey dont play that game July 17, 2009 at 2:47 pm

My chair is made of Hondurans. Much better quality.

JadedDIssonance July 17, 2009 at 2:47 pm

They likely will not be very soft and the assembly instructions will be spanish-only.

Mahousu July 17, 2009 at 2:48 pm

[re=365006]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: No, I think all such decisions should be made by Paula Abdul.

paintitblack July 17, 2009 at 2:49 pm

I don’t even get what “Dr.” Goldberg is attempting to say, but don’t want him bothering to ‘splain it to me, either.

V572625694 July 17, 2009 at 2:49 pm

People, come on: it’s “Brüno,” mit ein Umlaut. But the movie sucks anyway.

Extemporanus July 17, 2009 at 2:50 pm

In the “doctor’s” defense, would you want to play musical chairs all day to the sounds of castanets and maracas?

SayItWithWookies July 17, 2009 at 2:51 pm

So far, our President is a Muslim, a non-American, too well-traveled, throws like a girl, a socialist, a gorilla, and now some sort of slave/furniture owner. Why is he trying to be all things to all people?

Extemporanus July 17, 2009 at 2:53 pm

[re=364982]Dave J.[/re]: Indeed. She sits on a bench, not a chair, and it is made out of Puerto Ricans.

magic titty July 17, 2009 at 2:55 pm

But will the Mexicans get a commerative plaque at the Capitol?

freakishlystrong July 17, 2009 at 2:56 pm

[re=365027]SayItWithWookies[/re]: And that wife of his! Posing in the National Geographic. Elitists!

Native of SL UT July 17, 2009 at 2:58 pm

I want my health care to be like a hot Latino Love Sack, please.

AnnieGetYourFun July 17, 2009 at 3:00 pm

[re=365040]Native of SL UT[/re]: Exactly. They say this like it’s a BAD thing. If I showed up to my socialist doctor, and he was all, ‘Um, I need you to straddle these Mexican men,’ I’d probably go in for check-ups a lot more often.

Native of SL UT July 17, 2009 at 3:05 pm

[re=365049]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I want the health care package to be the one with the large boobs barely contained by a blouse two sizes too small.

BlueStateLibtard July 17, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Wake up dummies, he’s right! It’s written there in Section XRMex72a: “Patients opting for Public Health Option will be required to sit on chairs constructed of Mexicans when receiving health services.”

finallyhappy July 17, 2009 at 3:10 pm

[re=365061]Native of SL UT[/re]: I thought the package would be large, wellformed and in a tight speedo?

norbizness July 17, 2009 at 3:18 pm

That’s when Hannity burst into the studio, demanding that all illegal chairs be sent back to Mexico and that God-fearing po’ white trash be used as furniture instead.

NoWireHangers July 17, 2009 at 3:20 pm

I’m down, but only if the chairs vibrate.

Lionel Hutz Esq. July 17, 2009 at 3:22 pm

[re=365015]Mahousu[/re]: Well, I cannot argue with her knowledge of pharmaceuticals.

bored with gravity July 17, 2009 at 3:22 pm

Won’t we all get swine flu of the ass if we use chairs made from Mexicans? Just sayin.

jetjaguar July 17, 2009 at 3:22 pm

Today, we are all chairs made out of Mexicans?

El Pinche July 17, 2009 at 3:25 pm

That’s ok, I have car seat covers made of old white men. They’re cheap at the flea markets.

Extemporanus July 17, 2009 at 3:26 pm

[re=365093]jetjaguar[/re]: Today, we are all Mexican-Achairicans.

prophet1195 July 17, 2009 at 3:26 pm

Naw, Hannity and his lovie, Moosalini want to hire illegal chairs to work at the Dee-Mole-ayy and Nights of Colombians Hall stacking themselves like those arabs in Gitmo, with Private Lyndie as guest, the latest fad in GOP circle jerk parties.

snideinplainsight July 17, 2009 at 3:31 pm

Telemundo has the hottest chairs!

Humpback July 17, 2009 at 3:39 pm

The return of the great Ottoman Empire.

WadISay July 17, 2009 at 3:39 pm

I thought Obama was going to make the healthcare plan by taxing millionaires one kidney each.

BobLoblawLawBlog July 17, 2009 at 3:50 pm

Maybe my “doctor”-to-elitist dictionary is broken, but I can’t figure out what in blazes he’s trying to say with this analogy…besides that he, like Fox News’ super-heterosexual male audience, saw Bruno and knows who Paula Abdul is.

btwbfdimho July 17, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Three-legged stools are more suitable when referring to an African-American President.

Kingbee July 17, 2009 at 4:24 pm

Do they have matching lampshades to go with those chairs?

Hooray For Anything July 17, 2009 at 4:30 pm

[re=365151]BobLoblawLawBlog[/re]: What’s so weird about a conservative seeing a movie featuring lots of simulated man-on-man action?

AxmxZ July 20, 2009 at 8:03 am

Obama should do everything in fishnets, like Bruno, also.

That wasn’t meant to be a response to anything, just an idea.
