They can never be wrong about anything!

Michelle Malkin...teh stupid.

The Washington Post is back today with another story about the pitfalls of the military health care system. Like I said when the WaPo series was launched, these failures are damnable--and nothing new. David Bernstein at The Volokh Conspiracy adds:

If private companies had mismanaged outpatient care for veterans the way the V.A. system has, there would be strong calls from all the usual quarters for a government takeover, and proclamations of how we can't trust "greedy" for-profit companies to take care of veterans. Funny how this thought process doesn't seem to work in reverse, except among "free market ideologues," who have been criticizing the V.A. for years.

Will the Bush-bashers join with free-market critics to effect real change and help the troops who need and deserve better care?

We'll see.

Uh huh. From reality:

The committee also released an internal Army memorandum reportedly written in September in which the Walter Reed garrison commander, Col. Peter Garibaldi, warned Weightman that "patient care services are at risk of mission failure" because of staff shortages brought on by privatization of the support work force at the hospital.

Later Malkin updates her post and responds to "the haters" who pointed out how foolish is her tribute to the joys of privatization: she blames it all on Clinton.

You wanna start blaming him now? Knock yourselves out. Just don't pretend you really care about how the troops are treated and how best to get them the care they all need and deserve.
