Let me start by making it crystal clear here, that I have never been, nor will I ever be, a fan of Jon Leibowitz, host of the idiotic attempt at political satire, "The Daily Show". Also, I’m not about to join the ranks of those conservatives who now claim him as being some sort of new found hero, albeit a rather unlikely one, because of his continued zings of Barry "Almighty", that proverbial dingbat, Kathleen Sebelius, and the glitch-riddled HealthCare.gov rollout this week on his silly little satirical news show. And I’m not about to change my opinion because of one instance where he happens to make some sense.
Now I sure by now just about everyone must now be aware of the fact that the rather rocky introduction of Barry’s website garnered some pretty blunt criticism from Leibowitz, who again on Monday continued to bash the website where consumers can go to sign up for Obamacare. So far, Leibowits has compared Barry to "Gil," the unfortunate salesman from "The Simpsons," freaked out about the site's broken calculator, and has gone toe-to-toe with that moron, Sebelius. And even though he made plenty of very valid points, that doesn’t make him any less of the left wing loon that we all know him to be. Does it? Really?
Now there have been more than a few conservative news outlets, including the likes of The Blaze and Fox Nation, who have made it a point to mention Leibowitz's silly little segments. Even the Republican political action committee, America Rising, took the opportunity to highlight his comments as well, on Twitter this past week. And it was also last week during an interview with MSNBC's resident loon, Andrea Mitchell that Republican Rep. Sean Duffy of Wisconsin also cited Leibowitz, saying, "One issue we have, the media won't ask the question about why are you’re treating families differently than big business."
And it was Duffy went on to say, "You need Jon Stewart on Comedy Central to ask Secretary Sebelius, 'Hey, why won't you treat these two equally?' and she won't answer it. That's how pathetic news reporting has come when they won't ask tough questions to the administration." And he has a point, most of those in the state-controlled media, Mitchell very much included, are working as hard as they possibly can to keep this thing from looking like the debacle that most everyone else sees it as being. They’ve now even gone so far as blaming it all on the Republicans and the partial government shut down.
Barry "Almighty" did address the problems with HealthCare.gov Monday during a speech there in the White House Rose Garden. And in so doing, he essentially did nothing more than to continue with the very same pattern of lies that we have continued to heard about this thing ever since it was first being discussed back on 2010. Barry said, "The point is the essence of the law, the health insurance that's available to people, is working just fine. In some cases, actually, it's exceeding expectations. The prices are lower than we expected. The choice is greater than we expected." Prices lower than expected? Exceeding expectations? What pure BULLSHIT!
Barry continued to lay it on as only he can by saying , "But the problem has been that the website that's supposed to make it easy to apply for and purchase the insurance is not working the way it should for everybody... Precisely because the product is good, I want the cash registers to work, I want the checkout lines to be smooth, so I want people to be able to get this great product. And there's no excuse for the problems. And these problems are getting fixed." That he could say anything of this with a straight face, is a testament to just how good of a liar he really is. I suppose should be seen as being an accomplishment in itself.
The bottom line here is that this should not have come as a surprise to anyone who has ever spent any amount of time in a Post Office or a DMV. This is how government operates. And all of Leibowitz’s jokes notwithstanding, there was never really any reason to expect anything other than what we got from this mess. And if you actually thought it was all going to work just as Barry and the Democrats sold it, well then, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you’re beyond being stupid. You are most likely a brain-dead liberal and as such, somebody who was only too happy to vote for Barry. And this is what you got for your doing so!
