"Shut Up! The Government Says"

Video. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on the disturbing, heavy-handed attempt by the Obama administration and its Dem allies to shut up those who merely disagree with them. Full transcript here. ABC's The Note:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell does not normally get riled up, but he just gave an impassioned speech on the Senate floor about the gag order, Humana, and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, who initiated the HHS investigation. McConnell referred to Baucus only as “a colleague.”

Shut up. It's a pattern.
