Sen. Claire McCaskill, via Twitter: “If we printed the health care bill in regular size font it would be same legnth [sic] as Sarah Palin’s book, but with more meat on the bone.”

I guess this is a response to those who argue the bill is a gargantuan monstrosity.

Fine, Palin’s book is long, too. But everyone understands it (liberals, insert standard what-grade-reading-level joke here), and if you don’t like it, you can ignore it and it will have no impact on your life. The health-care bill is written in legislative bureaucratese that is incomprehensible to most Americans, and the epic length is strongly suspected to be a method of hiding unpopular provisions that would never survive a straight up-or-down vote.
