Rep. Kevin Brady asked for an explanation of why the government-run subway system didn’t, in his view, adequately prepare for this past weekend’s rally to protest government spending and government services.

As 538 reported, about 60,000 to 70,000 crazies, er people attended the protest in DC.

70 thousand people, rather, is about the number that will attend the Washington Redskins’ home opener next week. That’s a lot of people. Washington — actually Landover, Maryland, where FedEx Field is located — will be inconvenienced. But it won’t be shut down. Business will go on more or less as usual.

The protest organizers are using any and every tactic to show numbers. This includes spreading fake/old pictures. Sadly, the intelligent discourse on health reform is being hijacked by a crazy vocal minority.
