Olbermann to Axelrod: You're a Useless Sell-Out and Shill
Axelrod to Olbermann: You're a Lunatic
Everyone Else: Hey, No Fighting! You're Both Right!

Olbermann: I will go to jail before I participate in a mandated-insurance scheme that enriches the corporate fat-cats in the insurance companies.

Axelrod: Anyone on the left wanting to kill this bill is insane.

Incidentally, after Gibbs called Howard Dean pretty much crazy yesterday, a White House hack (forget who-- Rahm?) walked that back and offered a more respectful objection; but I see the respectful objection thing was abandoned again by Captain Wonderful, and we're back to the "lunatic" argument.

(Argument being used in the loosest possible sense.)

Hmm... those who started saying, early, "the left just might kill this bill," well, you may be about to collect on your pool wager, depending on what day you selected.

I gotta tell ya, I did not see this coming. I thought the left was so hopelessly in love with Captain Wonderful they just wanted him to get a "Win," and didn't care what it looked like.

I see now that that was pretty much just Chris Matthews. And David Brooks, I'd imagine.
