Shortly after the House approved the AHCA—which will be bad for many millions of Americans and extend a tax cut to a select few wealthy Americans—we got this fucking gem from White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus:
Priebus moved to Green Bay, which is perhaps the most football-obsessed area per capita in the entire country, when he was seven years old. He remained in the area through college, and went to law school at the University of Miami. The fact that he somehow still doesn't know the basic rules of America's most popular sport only underscores his party's fraudulent populism, or at least Priebus' own greenhouse-grown weirdness. Then again, there's not much time to watch football when you're busy stripping tens of millions of Americans of their health care, gutting Medicaid, and ensuring that whether or not you will be able to purchase health insurance is largely determined the moment you're born.I would drag Priebus for putting his foot in his mouth, but that would be cruel. Neither road rash nor foot in mouth disease are covered as pre-existing conditions under the reform bill.Update: Priebus actually said "punch the ball into the end zone." It still makes no sense.
