Tucker is an.....ass

Sent to MSNBC.

Tucker,

Seriously, you need to actually pay attention to the world around you before commenting on, well, anything it seems. During your March 5th show you discussed the scandal at Walter Reed either said or agreed with your guests that this shows that the VA and the government in general should not be involved in providing health care. Clearly your mind is firmly set in this matter.

However, if you'd please pay attention you'd know that 1) Walter Reed is run by the Dept of the Army and not the VA and 2) the Bush administration privatized a great deal of the operations at Walter Reed in early 2006. Please watch and learn at this link: javascript:playerPopUp('http://www.crooksandliars.com/Media/Play/14893/1/TSR-WalterReed-Privitization.wmv/','340','300')

If you don't have time to watch the story, I'll paraphrase. The administration outsourced this to an ex Haliburton exec and this company, IAP Worldwide Services, can't do much of anything correctly. Recall that they couldn't send any ice to New Orleans after Katrina. Though to be fair, in this administration the best way to get promoted or receive more contracts is to fail.

Tucker, next time, read the news before you go on the air. It will do wonders for your credibility.
