Get the reference in the title? The Monty Python Spam sketch? It's the kind of thing that aging geeks like myself find highly amusing.
Anyway, I got a comment on Youtube for my video about the health care reform proposals. Youtube marked it as spam. Just out of curiousity, I did a Google search on one of the phrases from the comment, and got more than 6,000 hits.
I guess some intern at a lobbying firm somewhere had a busy summer.
Anyway, here's the text of the comment.
"Think about this-
This healthcare plan will be:
written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it
passd by a Congrss that hasn't read it & will be exempt from it
signed by a president who smokes
funded by a treasury with a chief who evaded taxes
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese
& financed by a country that is broke.
What could possibly go wrong?"
So Regina Benjamin is on the hefty side, therefore a public health insurance option won't work. Gee. It's hard to argue with infallible logic like that.
