The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...Zach Wamp!

Rep. Zach Wamp (R-Tennessee) was one of the kook-a-loons elected in the right-wing tidal wave of 1994.

This dinosaur lied when he pledged to serve only 12 years in the House - opting to run again in 2006.

Wamp grew up with the finest things in life, including a prep school education. That's no excuse for being as completely out of step with hard-working Americans as he is.

Lately, Wamp has been approaching a total meltdown.

With President Obama set to launch his health care reform program - which so far has been stymied by Republicans needlessly yelping - Wamp is on the offensive. He complained Obama's efforts are a "fast march to socialism."

Like that's supposed to scare people? Evidently, Wamp thinks socialism and communism are the same, so he thinks he can call something socialist and make people think it's communist.

What an outmoded goof.

Wamp also said health care is a privilege, not a right - and, in a hypocritical twist, said that claiming otherwise is "class warfare."

I don't know, Zach, but denying someone health care by calling it a "privilege" to be conferred based on status sounds more like class warfare to me.

Health care is a right, Zach. Not a privilege.

The interviewer asked Wamp, "If you have cancer right now, do you see it as a privilege to get some treatment?"

Wamp then offered some garbledygoop in an attempt to defend his untenable position, but just ended up looking like the incoherent fool he is.

How does this anachronistic moron keep getting elected?
