Oh, if only there were some way - !

CNN.com reports on what I'm guessing is one of the wingnut talking points in defending Bush's veto of SCHIP:

"The public can see that we're playing more political 'gotcha' than we are at really solving problems," said Rep. Todd Akin, R-Missouri, who said the legislation contained "all of these little hidden gizmos, among other things that we're going to provide health care to the children of illegal immigrants."

[ . . .]

Democrats denied the bill would provide coverage to illegal immigrants.


Cripes! If only there were some way of finding out what the bill actually said, such as, for example, having some sort of "legal analyst" or even a "political analyst" of some kind read it and comment on it!

Imagine how much trouble it would be, though, to choose the best and brightest to work for CNN. Much simpler all around to just play "he said/she said" games and pretend to strict objectivity.
