Nancy Pelosi's New Hampshire poodles, Reps. Carol Shea-Pelosi and Paul Hodes-Pelosi, betrayed their home state on Saturday. Their master told them to vote for her mind-bogglingly complex and unfathomably costly health care "reform" bill, and they dutifully did as ordered. We hope Pelosi gave them a nice treat for so obediently rolling over.

Pelosi trained her poodles well. She said, "Speak!" and they yipped about the glories of her bill while ignoring its costs and flaws. She said, "Lie down!" and they dismissed the warnings of those who noted correctly that the bill would impose a massive unfunded mandate on New Hampshire. That mandate -- coming in the form of expanded Medicaid coverage -- could cost Granite State taxpayers more than $1 billion in the next decade.
