This is fabulous and the interview was just wonderful.
...Though I could never bear to use that dartboard.
It didn't help he was wrong and she was right: her interpretation is exactly how the bill will be enforced, according to the administration's own advisors. She should have come in with more info than just the bill itself. Had she been able to say, "But this is how the people who'll be running the Public Option say they'll be interpreting and implementing this provision," she would have been on much stronger ground than just, "You're wrong." She should have also brought up the regulatory powers: the letter of the law is only a small piece of how legislation is enacted - the regulations that surround it often have an even greater impact. And the advisors have already outlined exactly how those regulations will take form regardless of what gets passed.
She loses points for being unorganized and ignorant of key supporting details related to her argument. He loses points for not letting her speak and for being equally uninformed. They both lost.
