Infants Against Health Reform (IAHR)

Good Lord. GOP Congressman John Shadeeg just used the ultimate prop in his floor statement, hoisting six-month-old Maddie and telling his colleagues that the infant opposes the current health reform bill because, among other things, “she wants choices in her health care.” What a precocious little tyke. Maybe she could tackle immigration reform while she’s at it? “Maddie doesn’t want an illegal Ecuadorian nanny. She wants choices in her day care, but only from red-blooded American workers.”
