Joe Walsh hasn't been sworn in as 8th District Congressman yet, but he is already working the TV cameras like a 20-term incumbent. Walsh's famous fake-puppy-dog charm was in full force today, when he was interviewed on CNN by Jim Acosta. In it, Walsh can be seen in full teaparty talking point mode, protecting the downtrodden health insurance companies from being burdened with all those sick people. Except he goes a leetle too close to the Republican bone at the end. Even Acosta has trouble keeping a straight face.
Zip forward to about 5:24 where Walsh stumbles and forgets his memorized talking points.
Joe Walsh: What we don't want to do in this country is ever get to the point where individuals can get sick, can have an illness, and then purchase insurance.
Jim Acosta: Boy that's kinda cold.
Walsh hasn't even been sworn in as congressman yet and he is already embarrassing everyone. Joe, FoxNews is there for a reason. Use it.

You missed the part where he said people shouldn't be allowed to drop their insurance. So, he's for a mandate now? Huh?
The first thing I am doing today after Walsh is sworn is is call his office and ask him to poll his entire district not just his pep rally tea party followers on their view of the factual (not right wing spin) American Affordable Health Care Act (AAHCA), then and only then will he find out the district supports the AAHCA. Then I will am going to find out what insurance company is going to cover his wife and make sure there wasn't a "deal" made to cover her pre-exisiting condition.
The next two years will be nothing but a catalog of stunts from Joe.The irony here is that the law he wants to repeal will make it easier for him to get coverage of his wife.
