> On a topical note, recently he raised an interesting current comparison:  "... regarding the Sochi Olympics and Putin, because you know, at the end of their vast pipeline that is leaking, at least there are going to be some games. Now there is no one there, and the hotels are horrible, but they’re going to have some games.  [But] at the end of the Obamacare pipeline, there isn’t actually any health care. So I actually think their pipeline is less leaky than our pipeline. ......There is an actual ski jump, and an ice rink, and a two man luge run at the end of the rotten, corrupt Putin pipeline. At the end of the Obamacare pipeline, as people are discovering, the doctor you’ve been going to for years, the hospital you’ve been going to for years, are not part of the so-called network. ...... you may owe the Russian president something of an apology for lumping him in with Obamacare. I think that may be, you may have done the impossible, and slandered Russian corruption."

Uhm, pretty much everything?

Now people really start to wonder into a left field.
