Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

This can't be true. The convicted felon with 5 kids from 3 women, who was cheating with a porn star while wife 3 was delivering kid 5, who bankrupted a casino and who shared a wonderful secret with his pal a convicted pedophile says everything's just great.

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.
