Dan Collins’ blog has made history, I think. It features the first blog post ever edited by the White House Office of Fishy Fact Fixing.
I only hope that when they start putting us piscine prevaricators against the wall, I get a good spot.
RELATED: Is this something the White House would want to investigate? It has the stench of sea bass about it.
And these guys, who say they’re getting out of the health insurance business because of what Obamacare is likely to bring. They have to be fishier than Arthur Treacher! After all, the President said that his plan wouldn’t cause anyone to lose the plan they already had, and you know he wouldn’t lie to you, right?
UPDATE: Pat, I’m warning you. Cease your aquatic heresies at once! The truth-finders will sniff you out and put you to the question (hey, now that’s something I bet would bring waterboarding back in fashion on the left!).

To Whom It May Concern…
Under your definition, I–someone who believes in a free market-based health care system–am espousing ‘fishy’ views [your DHS did certify me, after all, a 'Rightwing (sic) Extremist'].
Under my definition of the word, everything members of the Administration have said about the current and proposed Health Care System is not simply fishy, but rotten fishy.
However, as the President put it so succinctly: ‘I won’. Therefore I must conclude that your fishy definition of ‘fishy’ is the one that you abide by [for the moment--you are relativists, after all, and proud of it] and this is the definition you want us to apply in these denunciations.
Therefore, herewith, wherein, and heretofore, I turn my self in as a purveyor of ‘fishy’ views with the understanding that I will immediately be classified in your database as ‘UNMUTUAL’ [I would only request that the number you assign me is '6'].
I know that after proper re-education, I will be able to say with pride: ‘It is all right, everything is all right, the struggle is finished. I have had won a victory over myself. I love Big Brother’. I also know that, at that point, I will be declared an ‘unperson’.
