“Senator Who?” Michael Bennett Gets the Code Pink Treatment on Single Payer Socialized Medicine

Last night in Denver, Colorado’s appointed Senator Michael “Senator Who?” Bennett attended (briefly and at the last minute) a “townhall forum” on “comprehensive healthcare reform” put on by the self-parodyingly-named Metro Organization of People. 

As with all such townhalls, this one was strictly formatted and the questions for Back-and-Forth Bennett were given to him in advance to reduce the possibility of unfortunate gaffes and/or departures from the Obama machine’s coordinated message.  Naturally, this meant (as they reminded us several times as we waited and waited for Michael Bennett’s not-so-fashionably late arrival) that questions from the audience were not welcome and would not be addressed.

Well, I guess the closed agenda didn’t sit too well with a Ralph Nader supporter, who wore a “Nader’s Raiders” T-shirt and had clearly waited paitently for Both-Ways Bennett’s to show up to at last interrupt him on the third scripted question with his own impressively-bellowed commentary/question on “single-payer” (ie: fully socialized healthcare):

How amusing to see a juvenile tactic developed by the radical left now being turned against their one-time allies.  As Obama and the Democrats continue to disappoint the more radical members of their base, expect to see more of this sort of thing.

We’ll have a few more clips from the “comprehensive healthcare reform” forum up later today, including Senator Michael Bennett’s much-delayed and ultimately lackluster, Keanu-Reeves-style performance.  It was an interesting event, just not in the way the organizers might have intended…

    The rudely radical star of this video vignette looked awfully familiar, but I couldn’t quite place his name, so I queried our network of watchers who’d infiltrated the event. No positive ID, but one of our observers DID spy the errant interrupter as he was leaving the event – in a BRAND NEW (2009) dark blue BMW (reportedly one of the sporty 3-series).

    Apparently, professional protesting is a lucrative business (or he has some well-heeled funders behind his staged spontaneity).

    I mean, good grief, we’ve all heard of limousine liberals – but now, performance-car progressives?

    P.S. we’re offering a reward for a positive ID on the errant interrupter – Name, Contact Info, any known affiliations.
    Unfortunately, since we’re NOT funded by a passel of “progressive” millionaires, the reward is modest – free beer at the next LOTR event, and everlasting fame in the freedom underground…
