My favorite news story in quite a while has to do with the fact that Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee are upset that Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of HHS, has declined their invitation to come and testify about the technological problems with the Obamacare rollout.
These are the very same people who shut down the government for two-plus weeks, at an estimated cost to the economy of $24 billion, because they wanted to defund Obamacare. Now they want to grill Sebelius about how this supposedly tech savvy administration managed to screw up the rollout.
Obama is pissed and deserves and answer to that question. Supporters of the law everywhere are pissed and deserve and answer. People who tried to use the system and encountered time-consuming problems deserve an answer. House Republicans, the ones who won´t be disrespected, can shove it. (In fact, Sebelius will probably testify as early as next week.)
You gotta admire those Republican cajones...unfortunately I can´t think of anything else about them that is at all admirable.
