WASHINGTON?Claiming that the president was preying on the public's fear of contracting a fatal disease last week when he declared the H1N1 virus a national emergency, Republican leaders announced Wednesday that they were officially endorsing the swine flu. "Thousands of Americans?hardworking ordinary Americans like you and me?already have H1N1," Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said during a press conference. "Now Obama wants to take that away from us. Ask yourself: Do you want the federal government making these kinds of health care decisions for you and your family?" Other prominent Republicans opposing Obama's declaration of emergency include Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, who urged residents of his state to continue not washing their hands, and radio host Rush Limbaugh, who made a point of dying of the virus during his show on Wednesday.

My comment I suppose is simply that I love the onion.

Hopefully no one. Somewhere on the Internet some people are gonna be outraged though. Mainly because the Republicans recent SOP has been pretty much what the article used. Thus making it believable.

sadly a better source of real analysis than just about anywhere else, at least on TV.
