What a Maroon

Via Michelle Malkin comes this Very Special D’oh! Moment from Senator Ben Nelson:

Sen. Ben Nelson said Tuesday it was a mistake for the Obama Administration to take on massive health care reforms in 2009, and suggested efforts would have been better spent addressing the economy.

Does Nelson mean to say that viciously increasing the size, scope, and expense of government while simultaneously saddling the economy with an untold number of new regulations and requirements, and upending every single person’s health care options during a time of increasing joblessness, shrinking credit, crashing property values and general economic uncertainty might not have the smartest thing in the world?

Huh.
