I didn't know the Hebrew word for "lightweight" either, until I read Jay D. Homnick's entertaining and all-too-true evisceration of the "health care summit" meeting to which the president has (briefly and belatedly) invited a few Republican critics.
Let's not forget that we're talking about structural reform that affects more than one-sixth of the American economy, here. The president says he's open to "good ideas," but that fabled openness looks more like a head fake to me. Think of the posters from the mythical "Complaint Department" that invite people to write their complaints in check boxes that are too small to write in.
A three-hour meeting with political opposition is little more than window-dressing. The Gilligan's Island cast spent more time than that on the S.S. Minnow.
