Last week the Lonely conservative reported on the SEIU dropping dependent health care:

The fund informed its members late last month that their dependents will no longer be covered as of Jan. 1, 2011. Currently about 6,000 children are covered by the benefit fund, some until age 23.

We touched on it briefly on Saturday’s show, Michelle Malkin now reports that the SEIU is in full spin control mode today:

So if the new spin is now Gospel Truth, shouldn’t SEIU 1199 apologize to the 30,000 families that received the letter blaming Obamacare for making children’s coverage “financially impossible?”

What new spin? Apparently when dropping coverage the union said this:

“…(N)ew federal health-care reform legislation requires plans with dependent coverage to expand that coverage up to age 26,” Behroozi explained in an Oct. 22 letter to members. “Our limited resources are already stretched as far as possible, and meeting this new requirement would be financially impossible.”

Whoa Whoa Whoa we can’t be blaming Obamacare when our union worked so hard for it, so the message is changed anew to cover themselves.

To the union members who supported democrats and worked for democrats and watched your dues go to democratic coffers instead of your own pension funds I say this: You did this to yourselves!

Is the Orange Juice put down? Good here we go:

“If you say someone is qualified when they are not you lose credibility!”

Mika Brzezinski on Mitt Romney saying Sarah Palin is qualified for president. Morning Joe Dec 2 2010

Forgetting the inherent Palin derangement syndrome for the moment and the fact that Palin is the only reason anyone is talking about Romney today, did I actually hear a member of the mainstream media say that sentence out-loud?

Did you support Barack Obama? Did the Entire MSNBC staff support Obama? Did the entire non-Fox media wax orgasmic over the man in 2008?

That a liberal member of the media could say that sentence without having a clue about the irony is simply priceless.

This isn’t projection, this is a twelve screen movie complex with all the Harry Potter Movies playing 24/7 With the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Gone with the wind and Titanic on the side.

I can hear the screams of The Reclusive Leftist’s from here.

Today on Way too early with Willie Geist we found out the state of the Mitt Romney campaign.

Willie brought up Mitt visit to Leno yesterday and what did he talk about? Romney care, why he should be president, nope the quote that talked was: What does Mitt think of his competition from Wasilla?

Then again considering this story from Hotair maybe it’s better if he just talk about Sarah Palin because if he talks about Romneycare he’s toast.

If there was no Sarah Palin would Way too Early or anyone else care about Romney on Leno? The question answers itself.

7:40 p.m. The Panel believes the Tea Party should steer away from social issues. Personally I think we are deluding ourselves if we think that this will make the media like us more but the tighter the focus the easier to make the pitch.

7:20 p.m. What would we do different? More local events, reach out to public.

7:10 p.m. “This is not what we were told it would be!” Linda DuVal on what people who were informed by the media about tea parties said after attending.

7:05 p.m. Tawnya: biggest problem is members v involved members
