Media personality Jake Tapper has a story up at ABC on how Senate Democrats will get a health care reform bill passed by any means necessary:

Amidst questions of whether or not any Senate Republicans will support a health care reform bill, Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., today said that the "White House and the Senate Democratic leadership still prefer a bipartisan bill."

The Reid spokesman said that "neither the White House nor the leadership have made a decision to pursue reconciliation," the somewhat controversial legislative process by which a bill is introduced in such a manner so that it requires merely 50 votes instead of 60 to proceed to a vote, thus removing the threat of filibuster.

Manley said that "we will not make a decision to pursue reconciliation until we have exhausted efforts to produce a bipartisan bill."

"However," he cautioned, "patience is not unlimited and we are determined to get something done this year by any legislative means necessary."

And then Tapper tapped his deepest psyche for this bit of WTFery:

"By any means necessary" is a phrase popularized by Malcolm X (demanding the rights of African-Americans to be respected in society), though it is thought to have originally been penned by French existentialist Jean Paul Sartre in his play about assassination "Dirty Hands" (in a line demanding the end of class).

And to drive that home, Tapper included a video of Malcolm X speaking.

Seriously, WTF Jake?
