Sickness redefined

As I am sure many of you already know, President Bush recently vetoed the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) because it was his opinion that it was “too expensive”.




The recent proposal, which passed with bipartisan support in the Congress, would have cost an additional $35 Billion over five years.

Democrats enlisted 12-year-old Graeme Frost, who along with a younger sister relied on the program for treatment of severe brain injuries suffered in a car crash, to give the response to Mr. Bush’s weekly radio address on Sept. 29.




Republican opponents quickly countered with vicious attacks

Right Wing critics have recently accused Graeme’s father, Halsey, a self-employed woodworker, of choosing not to provide health insurance for his family of six, even though he owned his own business. They pointed out that Graeme currently attends an expensive private school. They have also asserted that the family’s home had undergone extensive remodeling, and that its market value could exceed $400,000. They even alleged the counters in their kitchen to be granite — and declared that the Frosts did not seem needy enough for government benefits.


* As it turns out Graeme Frost attends the private school on scholarship.

** The business that the critics said Mr. Frost owned was dissolved in 1999.

*** The family’s home, in the modest Butchers Hill neighborhood of Baltimore, was bought for $55,000 in 1990 and is now worth about $260,000.

**** The kitchen counters in the Frost household are made of concrete.

One critic, in an e-mail message to Graeme’s mother, Bonnie, warned her: “Lie down with dogs, and expect to get fleas.”

To call the Republican hate machine “fleas” is an insult to fleas.

One of the bloggers attacking the Frost family is Michelle Malkin. She is a nasty little bitch that I have blogged about in the past.

Here is a fun example of Michelle Malkin "successfully" attacking John Kerry’s war record from the safety of her pantyhose.
