And some Republicans have suggested that the bill contains a few \u201csecret\u201d provisions. That\u2019s ridiculous. There aren\u2019t a few secret provisions in the health care plan. There are like hundreds. And tonight, in the interest of transparency, I\u2019d like to share a couple. Let\u2019s see here. This provision is called the \u201cBay State of Denial.\u201d It reads, \u201cThis bill shall cover short-term memory loss related to the passage of Massachusetts health care reform.\u201d Good news, Mitt, your condition is covered! This next provision is called the \u201cJersey Shore-Up.\u201d It reads, \u201cThe following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill: Snooki, J-Woww, the Situation, and House Minority Leader John Boehner.\u201d This provision ought to put a common misconception to rest. It says right here: \u201cIf you do not like the ruling of your death panel, you can appeal it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Some of you are seasoned veterans who have been on the political beat for decades. Others here tonight began their careers as bloggers not long ago. But I think it\u2019s fair to say that every single reporter in this room believes deeply in the enterprise of journalism. Every one of you, even the most cynical among you, understands and cherishes the function of a free press in the preservation of our system of government and our way of life. And I want you to know that for all the jokes and occasional gripes, I cherish that work as well. In fact, tonight, I wanted to present you all with a bipartisan, Congressional resolution that honors all those wonderful contributions that journalists have made to our country and our world. Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t break the filibuster.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the winner of the night:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am glad that the only person whose ratings fell more than mine is here tonight. Great to see you, Jay. I&#8217;m also glad that I&#8217;m speaking first &#8212; because we&#8217;ve all seen what happens when somebody takes the time slot after Leno.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The full version in HD below: Some highlights: You might have heard we passed a health care bill.
