lindsey of new york, mcnichols of denver, blanding of chicago, all learn what happens when the snow piles up and the traffic snarls. today it is mayor mike bloomberg of new york. why isn t my street cleared? why isn t it plowed? governor christie of new jersey what in the world are you doing disney world in the political bad guys of the blizzard of 010, that is our top story tonight on hardball. plus, the execution squads are out to kill obama s a health care bill. and mike huckabee is cheering on the execution. the health care bill is not only a bad product but it was conc t concocted by a bad process energy locked rooms, in the middle of the night with people having never read over 2300 pages of the most massive policy that has ever been concocted and pushed on the american people. could this be anymore predictable? every time a new layer of the social safety net is proposed, where it is social security, income tax, medicare, medicaid, just to name a few concerns, ar
