Kathleen Sebelius is one quite arrogant bitch.
And that’s the best I can say of her.
From the BusinessInsider.com:
KATHLEEN SEBELIUS TO CONGRESS: ‘Whatever’
It was two and a half hours into her testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday when Secretary of Health and Human Services became so exasperated enough to answer repeated questions with a simple, “Whatever.”
“Exasperated.”
Let me, as pols say, “unpack that.”
Translated = tired of having to defend her steps and activities, and actually answer for decisions and actions to which she is tasked and responsible.
A mere two and a half hours into testimony.
Anyone who is a cop has been on the stand in open court for at least one to two hours, minimum. On roughly each and every case. You will have perhaps hundreds of cases in your career upon which you must testify. And for which you are directly and personally answerable and responsible.
As a Homcide Bureau detective for my department, I have been on the stand not just for two days, not just four days, not just five days, but two weeks straight.
So, that Kathleen Sebelius had to actually answer a few questions for two hours and, at that point, decided to cork off into Dismissively Smarmy Mode, I say: boo fucking hoo. My heart bleeds for you, as HHS Secretary, to the tune of a minimum of $180,000 per year.
Any of you make $180K a year? Bueller?
“Did I hear it wrong?”
“Why aren’t you losing your health insurance?” Rep. Cory Gardner asks. “Why are you not in the exchange?”
“I am not eligible for the exchange,” HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius replies.
Sebelius responded that given that she has affordable, available health insurance through her employee, she is not eligible to participate in the exchange, and it would in fact be illegal.
To applause from the chamber, Gardner said, “With all due respect Madame Secretary, I would encourage you to be just like the American people and enter the exchange.”
That was a LIE. She is eligible.
She LIES.
And Mr Obama LIES and Jay Carney LIES and the bulk of persons in the Obama Administration LIE.
After all: “whatever.”
She has hers. And the rest of you are Serfs, Proles and Groundlings, less than the mucus from her nostrils, the pus from her cysts.
