A must-watch performance on the House floor today from Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY).
“You gotta love these Republicans,” Weiner said. “I mean, you guys have chutzpah. The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of insurance companies.”

Make no mistake about it, every single Republican I have ever met in my entire life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the insurance industry.
