How far we've fallen, Part 1

Seems The Wall Street Journal has an "experts" page, and recently they featured Suzanne Somers discussing why Obamacare is a socialist ponzi scheme.

Ahem.

Near as I can tell, Somers is qualified to discuss Obamacare because a) she once starred as an idiot in the sitcom Three's Company (which wasn't funny and was dated after its first episode); b) she's written 24 books on beauty care and healthy living (judging from the fact that most of us don't look like supermodels and obesity is an epidemic, her talent doesn't appear to have had much of an effect on anything other than her pocketbook); and c) she once read an article about how bad the Canadian healthcare system was (never mind the fact that--unfortunately--Obamacare shares nothing in common with Canada's single payer system) which was probably written by some numbnuts conservative dunderhead.

Here's where I'm supposed to have some clever ending point, but frankly, I'm just too fucking flabbergasted that The Wall Street Journal, which at one time had at least a modicum of conservative gravitas, would have Suzanne Somers discuss anything, let alone a thousand some odd page bill which has many words that are larger than "the" and "it."

I guess next we can expect Britney Spears to discuss Benghazi.
