VIDEOS: The BRAD BLOG’s Desi Doyen Guest Hosts ‘The Young Turks’ on ‘Health Care Decision Day’

Clearly, those “Turks” are just trying to steal her away from us!

Once again, the delightful Desi Doyen, co-host and managing editor of The BRAD BLOG’s Green News Report was sitting in to guest host on The Young Turks yesterday along with longtime TYTer, Ana Kasparian.

They were both joined in the first hour, devoted to yesterday’s stunning Supreme Court health care ruling, by Current TV’s Jacki Schechner (an expert in health care legislation issues). The second hour, it was just Desi and Ana.

(By the way, Des will once again be sitting in today, Friday, co-hosting along with TYT top dog Cenk Uygur during the 4p-5p ET / 1p-2p PT hour. I’ll try to remember to post the LIVE FEED here at The BRAD BLOG, but either way you can watch the full hour live at TheYoungTurks.com.)

A bunch of highlights from yesterday’s two hours, on a bunch of topics covered — from the health care ruling, to the RW push to close the last abortion clinic in Mississippi, to eating bugs to save the world, to new news on the Miami ‘zombie’ who tried to eat a guy’s face — all follow below. Enjoy!…

    Wow. Just Wow. Desi , you were the best that I have heard yet , speak about the real health care bill.Must confess, I only watched you speak. Can’t bear the obama apologists or right wingers.

    This health care bill reminds me of the civil rights legislation that gave blacks the right to vote. Right along with it, was urban renewal that decimated entire black communities and set them adrift. Taking away culture and community is a ploy that has been used for centuries for control. I never even knew for a long time. Found out from listening to a black man from a conservative think tank explain it.Have been gradually losing tolerance for the agenda from MSM. Age thingy.
