Unless you've been in a cave over the last few days, you know that President Obama will giving a speech on health care reform in less than 10 minutes.
But what you may not know is that Congressman Charles Boustany (R, LA-07)has been picked to give the Republican response to the President's speech. You'd think they'd steer clear of Louisiana Republicans after Governor PBJ's stupendously bad response back in February. But no ... they picked the talented Mr. Boustany.
Here's some background on him:
CongressmanLord Boustany not only tried to buy an English Title of Nobility so he could hang with the Queen Mum ...
but he's also a birther ... ya know, those crazy right wing nuts that are somehow convinced that President Obama is a foreign agent intent on destroying the American way of life. Here's the proof that Boustany's one of 'em:
Lord Boustany is the third Congressman in, at the 0.27 mark:
BOUSTANY: Well, it's certainly being looked at.
STARK: What do you personally believe, I mean -- do you think there's a question here?
BOUSTANY: I think there are questions, we'll have to see.
And if that's not enough to make your head spin about the talented Lord Boustany ...
He's an original co-sponsor of the "death panels" that has lots of folks in Louisiana up in arms. I mean, a Republican doctor in favor of the death panels that'll pull the plug on Grandma?
And he's giving the Republican rebuttal speech to Obama? Stay tuned for analysis after the rebuttal.
