Is there a Democrat senator or staffer secretly opposed to the new health care bill introduced by the Senate? One has to wonder because the new Senate health bill is named, "Quality, Affordable Health Coverage for All Americans." The acronym for this bill is the absolutely hilarious QAHCAA. Yes, say it out loud and it is pronounced exactly the way you suspect as in "This health bill is a bunch of QAHCAA."
Perhaps this bill was so named with complete cluelessness as to how it would sound when spoken out loud. In any event, this has to be the absolute worst, but funniest, acronym ever given to a proposed government program. Yes, NewsBusters is the first to point out the hilariousness of QAHCAA but it is inevitable that this acronym will be widely mocked in the blogosphere at large even if the MSM tries to ignore the embarrassment.
Now Congressman John Boehner can again call this health bill a "Pile of sh...." Oops! I mean, "QAHCAA."
If the late night comedians aren't still totally in awe of Barack Obama, I wouldn't be surprised to see them joke about the Senate QAHCAA bill. But, hey, I already received a terrific joke from Mike Sargent of NewsBusters:
Can we rename the bill “Medically Acceptable, Quality, Affordable Health Coverage for All Americans?”
You know.
MAQAHCA? Pronounced, MACACA?
MAQAHCAA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
It wouldn't surprise your humble correspondent a bit if the embarrassed Democrats in the Senate desperately attempt to rename their health bill. Too late. No matter what they do now, they will be forever stuck in their own QAHCAA.
This acronym is rich with comedic possibilities. I can just see Senator Mitch McConnell ask Majority Leader Harry Reid if this bill is QAHCAA.
Please post here all jokes you see in the future about QAHCAA. I am sure there will be a lot of them.
Oh, and thank you whoever thought up the name for the Senate health bill.
QAHCAA.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

July 16, 2009 - 09:32 ET by Iowa BoyThis health care bill scares the living QAHCAA out of me. If this plan takes hold and I loose my private insurance (which the bill will more than likely make happen) this piece of QAHCAA will keep me in a damned wheelchair for the rest of my life.
I make progress and get better because of continued physical therapy with very talented and very dedicated therapists. My private insurance covers the costs. With QAHCAA, you can damn well believe they'll make me quit going to PT because its"too expensive".
Well, QAHCAA on them!

July 16, 2009 - 19:12 ET by Old SaltJust in time to use it in my protest sign (It's QAHCAA!) for tomorrow's anti-QAHCAA rally at Senator Warner's (D-VA) office. Thanks!

July 16, 2009 - 09:44 ET by nadadhimmiQuackaa!! OMFG How absolutely perfect can a name be. These people are so oblivious to reality, they really DON'T realize the contempt and revulsion in which they are held by the public at large. At least that part of the public that the Congresscritters don't pay to kiss their rears for them. You can bet that after congress gets back in the Fall they will have been hissed at and derided, and ridiculed by the very people that hold their political lives in their hands. It will wake them up and decide to NOT commit political suicide for "THE ONE" regardless if he is black or not. Do we have to destroy the United States of America to "prove" we're not """"""RACIST""""""?

July 16, 2009 - 12:04 ET by AJBDon't you know--only white men can possibly be racist! No other group qualifies. Al Sharpton? Activist. Jessee Jackson? Activist. Robert Byrd? Respected leader despite being former KKK but given pass because he's a liberal white male. Oprah? Activist, media goddess. Reverend White? Activist and beloved preacher. Michael Vick? Reformed sinner. Nope, not a racist among them.

Please do so. This is not dailyKos or DU.
Thanks.

July 16, 2009 - 11:25 ET by Jack BauerI am guessing that you have no idea what the standard definition of "profane" is? It does not mean what you think it means in relation to vulgar language.
Essentially it simply means "not relating or devoted to that which is sacred or biblical. Secular rather than religious.
Most posts here are secular, so you stumbled on correctness by accident.
I can only think you mean "profanities" are written on this board (sic). Well I admit that I have, in three years, used a fully spelt out profanity about 4 times.
But on the whole (no pun) even our liberal posters tend to refrain from *uck**g bad language.
Not only that, Jack

July 16, 2009 - 11:52 ET by motherbeltAnd you can't even question me without saying "f***ng kidding me.
As for my tagline, both "sucks" and "blows" are accepted as meaning really stinks.
And neither one of those refers to God. So it's not the same.
nada has been warned by the administration before about his vulgarity and profanity. Is it too much to ask that he not use the F adjective when he's referring to God?

I suspect the MSM will sniff and sneer that jokes about the acronym QAHCAA are juvenille, and try to make people ashamed to make such comments. These same folks encouraged "tea bag" humor.

Very appropriate.

bill will more than likely make happen) this piece of QAHCAA will keep
me in a damned wheelchair for the rest of my life."
Not only that, Dennis Prager just read from the bill where it outlaws private insurance for those who don't already have it. So, once the bill becomes law, if you don't have private insurance, or if you lose it or drop it at any time after, it will be illegal for you to buy private health insurance. You will have to get the"free" public option.

things are different now
July 16, 2009 - 17:47 ET by RousseRemember the Committee to Re-Elect the President? The Nixon campaign shortened it to CREP, and pronounced it crepe, like the pancake. But the national press, called it CREEP and pronounced it creep with a long "e" sound. But that was before the days of the internet; things are different now.
Obama's QAHCAA bill. Perfect. And they did it themselves. My sides are hurting from laughing so hard.
