During his daily press briefing Wednesday morning, Gephardt told a reporter that every time he returns to his district in St. Louis, people come up to him and say, “Where\u2019s the prescription drug bill?” Now folks, people just don\u2019t do that. But then he takes it one step further by making it personal and getting his mother involved. El Loco claims that his own mother is on his case about paying for her prescription drugs, and that it\u2019s getting harder to foot the bill.<\/line>When I read the transcript from the press briefing I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes. I had to listen to it for myself (and you can too in the link below) because I couldn\u2019t imagine Gephardt was actually admitting to being a tightwad. And I can\u2019t believe his mother isn\u2019t getting drugs because there\u2019s no federal legislation. Would you sit around and wait for the U.S. Congress to pass a law before you went out and handled your own mother\u2019s prescription drug needs? It\u2019s unbelievable. Dick, call a lobbyist for a drug company and get some samples if it\u2019s as bad as you claim. <\/line><\/p>\n
