Joe Wilson at the Gettysburg Address

Let's ask doctors about health care

Poll Finds Most Doctors Support Public Option : NPR: "Most doctors — 63 percent — say they favor giving patients a choice that would include both public and private insurance. That's the position of President Obama and of many congressional Democrats. In addition, another 10 percent of doctors say they favor a public option only; they'd like to see a single-payer health care system. Together, the two groups add up to 73 percent."

Communists... or something;)

Blagojevich's indictment

Blagojevich's indictment is here.

From page 66 of the indictment (68 of the .pdf)

Later in the conversation, ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 for the Senate seat but “they’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them.”

Also of note is that Senate Candidate 1 is referred to as "her" elsewhere in indictment. Lisa Madigan or Tammy Duckworth? I'm actually going with Duckworth as I think that Madigan would have enough political capital of her own to horse trade with Blago for the seat. A relative newb like Duckworth would need a push from someone else in a "political Senate buying" scenario.

Update: Peter Patrick Fitzgerald is live right now.

Update2: Lots of people are calling Senate Candidate 1 Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett

Go figure.
