Anita Dunn is on the round table on This Week. When asked about the health care bill she decided to use the Medicare-D drug supplemental as an example by saying “well people didn’t like that at first either”. Guess what Anita?

Here is a trip down memory lane from that: Another Kennedy Cover Up? (Michelle Malkin) Chappaquiddick II: Kennedy (Hiccup) Crash Cover-Up? (Pundit Guy) Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy […]
