Seems that the "Pharmacists for Bush" need to learn that most important of all lessons...they're fucked.
Pharmacists say they have been losing money under Medicare's new prescription drug benefit, and they have taken their concerns to the White House, forcing the administration to confront political problems caused by the rocky start of the program.
...
The pharmacists who visited the White House were all from Texas. Several have close ties to Mr. Rove and President Bush. ...

Richard E. Beck, one of the Texas pharmacists who met with Mr. Rove, said, "Pharmacies are losing money on Medicare." Slow payment by Medicare drug plans has caused cash-flow problems for many pharmacies, he said.
Mr. Pittman said he told Mr. Rove and other officials: "If pharmacists don't receive immediate relief, some will go broke. Others are hurting so bad that they will choose not to participate in Medicare and Medicaid."
Unka Karl probably nodded wisely, shoved the donation cup at the pharmacists and told them that if they go out of business then the terrorists win.
Hey, it's worked before. I guess that these fools are probably wondering if they really should have voted for Bunnypants. Nah, they aren't. Well, they got what they voted for...now they can live with it. Broke and unemployed.
