Fox News

That Fox News Story about Obama introducing a smaller "new health care bill" turns out to be misleading. Pelosi's spokesman tells The New Republic's Jonathan Cohn:

The Speaker was referring to the compromise between the House and the Senate that the President unveiled last week--not a new smaller bill.  As she has said repeatedly, she is committed to passing comprehensive health insurance reform.

So, there's no new bill. The House will have to pass the Senate bill, and then pass a reconciliation "sidecar" to make some changes, trusting that the Senate will follow through. It seems that Pelosi and the White House are just spinning this as something new.

Two forces in TV and politics sit down and have, actually, a pretty nice conversation about Republicans, Fox News, Stewart's editorial sensibilities, health care, and the rest of it.

Enjoy, part one and part two.
