Record-Breaking Promise-Breaking

Hat tip to The Drudge Report for the link to this article on the breath-taking turnaround from Bill Owens, who has reversed his campaign position on the Healthscare bill:

Owens indicated in a press release released shortly afterwards that he was now in favor of the the "Affordable Healthcare for America Act" bill in direct contrast to his earlier position during the election campaign.

According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the public option had no place in the health care reform bill. Contrary to that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor of the bill even though it now contains a public option.

Even given that I have risen from a sleepless night here on the left coast and am understandaly groggy, this bit of news has me reeling even more.

The article also contins a snippet from the newly-elected congressman's web sit where his former position was made:

My apologies if it is unredable. I recommend that you go to the original article whee they have a suitably enlarged shot of this lying liar's lies.

Aside from Owen's record repudiation, Nancy set a record herself -- or at least a personal best -- by sprinting at top speed in her high heels over to Owen's swearing-in to twist his arm and to get him to line up with the other dupes she needs to get this pile of crap passed.

To Pelosi, I utter Keith Olbermann's immortal words: "Have you no shame, sir?"
