Richard Shelby -- the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee -- takes a trip through wingnuttia on Fox News, urged on by Chris Wallace who set Shelby up to talk about "socialism" and Obama with the not-so-freudian slip "Government Motors."

Watch:

Among Shelby's gems:

The Obama administration is "obviously" turning America into a socialist nation.
"No doubt we're going to government intervention everywhere, government ownership."
It all started when Obama bailed out the banks last fall. (Yes, that was when Obama was a candidate and Bush was president, a fact Shelby later acknowledged.)
Obama is "destroying the best health care system the world has ever known" by creating an alternative to private health insurance companies.
Obama will "destroy the marketplace for health care" and the "American people better be careful in what they want."
