Countdown's Best Person's segment for Aug. 12, 2009 with winners Investor's Business Daily, Gregg Jarrett and Sen. David Vitter.
Olbermann: These stories ahead, but first time for Countdown's top three best persons in the world. Theme warning, best liars about health care reform tonight.
Dateline, Los Angeles, number three, "Investor's Business Daily," home of fascist editorials that would make Attila the Hun blush. But this is priceless. It is an explanation the British system of national health which has been in place since 1945. "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the UK, where the national health service would say the life of this brilliant man, because his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless."
You geniuses do know that Stephen Hawking is from the UK, right? He's actually been treated by the British national health service, right? With its services, he's lived through about 45 years of ALS, right? The goof-balls at "Investor's Business Daily" were presumably confused by the fact that his voice synthesizer did not have a British accent.
