John Fund has crawled out again and is on the A19 page in the lower right (of course) corner of the Saturday/Sunday, December 5 paper with a funny, self revealing, attack on the Democrats for being "Obsessed by Health Reform". I don’t pay for the on line service so someone else can possibly provide the link.
The essence of it is that health care is a "death march" for the Democrats. Fund concludes saying, "They can only hope their march doesn’t lead them right over the edge of a political cliff next November."
His evidence is his reference to "a new poll taken for the Daily Kos, the left wing web site" that 81 % of Republicans, 65% of independents and 56% of Democrats supposedly have "not been given enough of a reason to come out and vote yet, according to liberal blogger David Dayen."
Of course it is hilarious seeing John Fund, that pillar of Republican virtue, as the spokesperson for health care or anything else. His wild history with women and women’s health care involving the mother–daughter "friendship" a few years ago makes him right up there in the Sarah Palin league of the D’s most wished for symbols and spokespersons for the Republican Party.
It is funny to watch the Murdoch Editorial Page Editor, Paul Gigot, slowly bringing John Fund back in from exile in the online version of the Journal, back into the print edition from which he was apparently banished after the early 2000’s when Fund’s pathetic life and escapades, with the daughter of his girlfriend, was exposed in the national press and lawsuits and criminal charges and counter charges flew.
Of course Kos took after Fund in 2005 and Fund obviously carries a grudge.
He is also an expert on "obsession" as shown by the contents of some of the many articles about Fund, some of which are collected for you below:

Fund concludes his "Obsessed" rant about D’s being afraid of the effect of the health care bill by saying they are afraid to say so. He says, "But in the age of bloodthirsty partisan bloggers they dare not be fully candid."
Editor Gigot and owner Murdoch at least can be credited for assigning this repetitive Republican talking point editorial task to their staffer who is an expert on "bloodthirsty partisan bloggers." Fund sees one whenever he looks in a mirror at what ever poor woman’s bathroom he finds himself shaving these days.
