San Fran Nan went on one of her usual over-the-top rants today against evil big business. Last year’s target was Big Oil. This year’s boogeyman, Big Insurance and HMOs.
“It’s almost immoral what they are doing,” Pelosi said to reporters, referring to insurance companies. “Of course they’ve been immoral all along in how they have treated the people that they insure,” she said, adding, “They are the villains. 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.”
Mary Katherine Ham at the Weekly Standard reminds dear Nancy that,
Nancy Pelosi herself is in the top 20 House recipients of “insurance” contributions this cycle, and insurance companies are her 10th-most frequent contributor over the span of her career.
Could she possibly be any thicker? Why, yes, yes she could. Who do you suppose was the largest receipient of HMO money? Some big business loving Republican shill, right?
