How pathetic can the pre-debate over health care get? The cozy relationship between the ad creator and Louise (married) somehow makes it all the worse -- now raking in a $million plus by bringing back the same characters credited for seriously wrecking health care reform when first brought to the public consciousness by Hilary Clinton.

Which is not to say Hilary's proposal was perfect. Far from it. But it brought the need for health care reform into the public conversation. Let's hope Harry and Louise are the topic of news stories and blogs and not influential with the public -- other than generically making people think about the need to bring affordable health care to everyone.
