Quote of the Decade

I'm going to be honest with you—I don't know a lot about Cuba's healthcare system. Is it a government-run system?

- former Sen. John Edwards

Backstory here. Edwards was asked in Oskaloosa, Iowa if the U.S. should adopt a Cuba-style health care system and that was his answer. ABC has a gotcha of sorts, noting that he'd previously told a frog-throated supporter that he'd watched Sicko. But he added that he didn't get "all the way to the end," and the end of the movie is the Cuban part. And really, how are you supposed to know that Cuba has state-run services until you've seen Sicko?
