Ezra Klein Explains Health Care Debate on _The Colbert Report_

Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein appeared on The Colbert Report last night to comment on the health care battle in a segment titled "Drag Me to Health." Klein (action starts around two-minute mark) explained exactly why it’s not a good idea to televise the debates.

“They’re not going to dare have an honest discussion in front of the cameras. If we had a grown-up political culture, maybe they would, but we don’t, so they won’t.”

Click to see this straight shooter cut through the crap and watch Press Secretary Linda Douglass respond to being called "the Joseph Goebbels of the White House Health Care shop." ‘Cause nothing says "grown-up political culture" like calling people Nazis.
