Inane Republican Comment of the Day

Today's winner is none other than Tennessee Rep. Zack Wamp (love that name!) who had this profound observation this morning (on MSNBC) about the health care crisis  in America:

If junior is running a fever, too bad. Health care is a privilege. Suck it up, son. Suffering is good for you!
