Anyone who knows anything knows Tom Tancredo is a clown.
A typical bullying, blustery blowhard, the prototypical GOP platform-parroting buffoon. He is also, naturally, a chickenhawk, and he just got called out in a smackdown for the ages. On national TV. After actually proclaiming that any type of government health care reform constitutes “the biggest threat to the American way of life”, he had the (predictable) audacity to speak for Veterans Administration. And that’s when in short, satisfying fashion, he is summarily owned by Markos Moulitsas. As is so often the case with these big talking bullies, the second they are called out on their spin (or, heaven forbid, given a small taste of their own medicine, or even worse, confronted by uncomfortable facts that don’t square with their self-aggrandizing mythologizing) they take their ball and go home in a huff.
