(h/t Hot Air)
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, ladies and gentlemen (on the must-pass health care bill):
You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting.
But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.
The Democrats need to pass this bill so that you can find out what is in it, because obviously all these Republicans haven’t been telling you the truth. Got it. Just one problem with this though — if this is such a great bill and we are just too stupid to realize all the benefits of the health care bill, that’s the Democrats’ fault. The job of selling this belongs to the majority party, and to President Obama. It’s their failure to do that that could ultimately save us from this health care bill or anything like it.

“…diet, diet, diet.” Sounds to me like Ethiopian health care.
Yeah, I know she said: “…prevention, prevention, prevention…” I’m just interpreting Pelosian into English.

Well done Paul. That’s an excellent translation.
