Retro Repub is Stickin’ To Her Chickens

• Share

The same week Wellpoint, one of the nation’s largest health insurance companies was exposed for egregious rescission of many breast cancer patients, Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sue Lowden continues her “Barter for Health Care Tour.” At least no one can call her a flip-flopper. Even after being outed as an out-of-touch nut job, Lowden is stickin’ to her chickens. “Doctors are compassionate people,” she says. So accepting chickens or house painting for payment surely follows. How ’bout taking peanut shells in lieu of a congressional paycheck, Sue. By the way, Lowden leads Reid in the polls.

And other retro repubs are getting into the act, too. A state legislator from Tennessee. Mike Bell, proposes “negotiating with your doctor” and eating ( or paying with?) vegetables.

Skip the doctors visits: toss the chicken and veggies in a pot. Mom was right: chicken soup cures whatever ails you. Wonder if it works on DUMB. Send Sue Lowden a vat. Just in case.
