Rachel Maddow: Ordering Pizza with Republicans

I tried, more than once, to post a video here from today's Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. Computer could-not-compute. If you didn't catch it live or on one of the many repeats during the evening, get thee to http://www.rachel.msnbc.com/ and take a look at the segment called "Parable of the pizza order and health care reform." It's Rachel's Metaphor Theatre in high gear, as she tries to order pizza with Kent, and he keeps saying no to every single topping she suggests. Pepperoni, olives, ham, green pepper -- no, no, no, no. Just cheese, then. No cheese. Just sauce then. No sauce. No, no, no, no. Remind you of anyone? Bingo! It's the Republicans on health care reform, claiming they want reform, just not any kind of reform President Obama and the Democrats want. So let us do as Rachel proposes. Forget the Republicans. Let us get our pizza exactly the way we want it. Tasty. And who knew pizza could be so good for our national health?

We did.
