Today on the Billo show, Ann Coulter, in a display of her pure, unadulterated ignorance and rage at the world in general, actually showed Bill O'Reilly to be someone apparently able to occasionally admit the truth. As for Ms. Coulter herself...not so much.
While Bill points out that we need strict regulation and oversight of health insurance companies, Ann tries to say that because Chris Cox, chairman of the SEC under George Bush, chose not to investigate Bernie Madoff, that means all government regulation can't work.

- Fuck everything up.
- Get thrown out of office, and

This is the same strategy Bobby Jindal shamelessly tried to use in his "rebuttal" to President Obama's State of the Union speech, when Jindal criticized government in general because George Bush and his team of incompetents screwed up the response to Hurricane Katrina.
To his credit, Bill states flatly that it was the fault of a Republican appointee for not investigating Madoff.
