Speaker Botox Pelosi goes ape feces on those horrible people who provide your health insurance

From Allah:

Good stuff. Take one of the most unpopular politicians in America, have her go off half-cocked in a crude attempt to satisfy Democratic demands for a villain to demagogue in selling ObamaCare, then wait for the backlash. Bonus points for using the same Orwellian rhetorical device Paul Ryan called Katrina Vanden Heuvel on last night, namely, exploiting the language of competition to push one of the most anti-competitive domestic measures in American history.

So what was it that San Fran Nan said?  Just some nutso anti-capitalist dog squeeze that made her underlings want to whisk her away:

“They are the villains in this,” Pelosi said of private insurers. “They have been part of the problem in a major way. They are doing everything in their power to stop a public option from happening. And the public has to know that. They can disguise their arguments any way they want, but the fact is that they don’t want the competition.”…

“It’s almost immoral what they are doing,” added Pelosi, who stood outside her office long after her press conference ended to continue speaking to reporters, even as aides tried in vain to usher her inside. “Of course they’ve been immoral all along in how they have treated the people that they insure with pre-existing conditions, you know, the litany of it all.”

I mean, the nerve of those insurance companies! To think that they wouldn’t want to sit by idly and watch the imperial federal government drive them into bankruptcy and closure while the feds create a monopoly. Of course, federal monopolies aren’t nearly as bad as private sector monopolies, right?
