Blue Dog Dem Goes Chicken for MRIs

Stupid is as stupid does

Ben Chandler of Kentucky spoke approvingly of the days when people paid their doctors with chickens, and a constituent got it on tape.

He voted against the healthcare bill, because he's a Blue Dog, and he kisses health insurer's asses.

Obviously, this is not as bad as Sue Lowden's doubling down on barter for MRIs, he was just being nostalgic, but it's likely that his Republican opponent will hammer him for it anyway, and I, for one, am glad.

We need fewer faux Dems in the Congress.
