On Today's Show... March 17th, 2010 HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! NY Post: Nancy Pelosi Is A Coward Sean commented on a NY Post editorial on today’s show which calls Nancy Pelosi “a coward, a bully and a hypocrite.” The Post piece explains how the House Speaker can’t find enough votes in her own party to pass Obama Care, so she’s preparing to approve the president’s bill by “legislative legerdemain” – that is, by not voting on it. Pelosi may rely on procedural sleight of hand by attempting to use a technique called “deem and pass,” in which the House would vote on a few less-controversial fixes to the Senate’s health care bill. Then, under special rule, this passage would automatically mean the House “deems” that the ENTIRE bill has been approved. “By the way, it’s not just Nancy Pelosi,” Sean added, “Any Democrat that buys into ‘deem the bill passed’ because they don’t have the votes to legitimately pass it – is cowardly.” “Deem and pass” has been commonly used, although never to pass legislation as momentous, or disastrous as the $875 billion Obama health care bill. Us Versus Them Mentality With a vote on Obama care looming in the not-so-distant future, Sean invited Patrick J. Buchanan onto the program to get his take on the situation. Buchanan feels that Democrats are really going to have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get every last ?yes? vote they can in order for the bill to pass. ?If the President can get it to within 4 votes, say 211 or 212, of passage, the pressure really comes down on the other individuals. And in that situation they tend to start flipping them.? Ultimately, Buchanan explained, the decision to vote for the reform package isn?t even based on the merits of the bill. ?If you ask most Democrats privately if they really want this bill to pass, they?ll tell you ?no?. What it comes down to is a matter of power ? us versus them. The Democrats are being told, ?Do you want to give Hannity and Limbaugh the victory because our team has been beaten?? Do they want to be responsible for that? The answer is no. It?s an ?us versus them? situation??our team versus their team? mentality, and I gotta tell you, I think Obama may get [the bill to pass],? Buchanan concluded. Take Our Country Back Tour! Country superstar John Rich, from the band Big and Rich, joined Sean in the show?s final hour with a surprise announcement. Sean, John Rich and Laura Ingraham will all appear in Kansas City, MO at an event called ?Taking Our Country Back Tour.?

Michele Marie Amble Bachmann (born April 6, 1956)[2] is the United States Representative of Minnesota's 6th congressional district and member of the Republican Party. She is the third woman and first Republican woman to represent Minnesota in Congress. She defeated her Democratic challenger, Elwyn Tinklenberg, in the 2008 election in a race that had gained national attention following her controversial televised call for the media to investigate members of Congress for perceived anti-American bias, including Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.[3] The 6th congressional district includes the northern far suburbs of the Twin Cities along with St. Cloud. She won 50 percent of the votes in the 2006 election, defeating Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party candidate Patty Wetterling and the Independence Party's John Binkowski. Bachmann served in the Minnesota State Senate from 2001 to 2007.
