Thom Hartmann: What’s really going on in Haiti? Here we have a country that has been absolutely devastated by a major earthquake. Now this earthquake was shallow and was strong. If it hit Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, god forbid, or any other city in the world it would do major damage.

The White House looks at passing health care without a new Senate vote if GOP wins in Massachusetts. The likeliest scenario would require persuading House Democrats to accept a bill the Senate already passed.

Is the country so divided that the right wing can’t support the crisis and devastation in Haiti? Is there anyone on the right being truly compassionate? This is a serious question here. Pat Robertson, back, you know, he has a long history of talking weird. Here’s Pat Robertson on Hugo Chavez for example:

“You know I don’t know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him I think that we really oughta go ahead and do it. It’s a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don’t think any oil shipments will stop.”
