MICHAEL BARONE: Democrats Flummoxed By Health Care Protests. In the diner where we had breakfast, CNN was showing Arlen Specter at a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania. The best part was Specter’s body language — defensive, jaw set, clearly unhappy at having to listen to criticism from the Great Unwashed. Criticism that, as best I could tell from the CNN captions, was citing health bill page numbers and CBO estimates. Hey, it’s not fair to expect him to have actually read the bill — he’s just a Senator.

Here’s some Specter video where he cops an attitude. It’s not the bit I was watching, but it captures the flavor.

Hey, better send some more goons to the houses of people who speak out!
