Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we’ll take a look at the past week with Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson of the Hugh Hewitt Show. Duane will officially reclaim for California the honor of having the Senate’s biggest dunce, and we’ll check the videotape. The CBO says ObamaCare will bust the budget and do nothing to slow the increase of health-care costs; is ObamaCare finished? What about the ACU’s credibility after the exposure of their letter to FedEx? All of this and more — and stay tuned for a preview of tonight’s Hugh Hewitt Show.
