Health Care Quote of the Day

From Speaker John Boehner, during an interview on Fox News Sunday after he was asked for the thousandth time about his smoking habit:

"Smoking. It's a bad habit but I have it. And it's a legal product. I choose to smoke. Leave me alone."

Exactly.

For some strange reason Chris Wallace decided to spend time in this interview hectoring Boehner about his smoking and his emotional nature, neither which have anything to do with solving the nation's problems. Wallace was not on his game and that has some conservative bloggers fuming. You can read Jim Hoft's reaction here.

I think the call for Wallace's firing is a significant overreaction, but certainly Wallace has done a much better job on other occasions.

Stick to the important stuff, Chris, and leave the fluff for MSNBC.
