Carr: Boston gala another Obamacare flop
The Boston Herald ^ | 10-23-13 | Howie Carr

Kathleen Sebelius is just too darned busy to testify in front of Congress this week about the disaster that is Obamacare, but she is going to be in Boston tonight.

And no, not at Fenway Park.

She’ll be at a “gala” at the JFK Library in Dorchester, along with an assortment of Beautiful People, including Vice President Joe Biden, Chelsea Clinton and Patches Kennedy.

And the master of ceremonies: Comrade Chris Matthews, the MSNBC host who gets a tingle up his leg whenever he hears Obama speak, and who just this week told two of the guests on his rotten cable-TV show to “be positive” about Obamacare.

It must be great to be a Beautiful Person — demolish the U.S. health care system and then blow off Congress for a week while you jet off to swill the Obama Kool-Aid with your fellow swells. And by the way, you’re not supposed to call it “Obamacare” anymore. That’s a “dog whistle,” as Comrade Chris would say, a racist code word. Like “Chicago” and “Barry” — two earlier dog whistles.

Is it too late to blame this on George Bush?

It can’t be the president’s fault. He went to Harvard, so he must be very, very smart, right? If Bush didn’t wreck this wonderful new Obamacare — I mean, Affordable Care Act — then it must have been BP. Or maybe it was Dick Cheney cruising high above D.C. in the Halliburton Hurricane Machine, with Karl Rove as his co-pilot, beaming death rays onto healthcare.gov.

Let’s face it, even if the website were running as smoothly as Amazon, Obamacare would still be a disaster. And that’s because the only people who wanted it are the Obama voters who thought it was, like everything else in their lives, free.

Great line!

It’s not at the JFK Library. It’s at the Westin-Copley Plaza less than a mile away from Fenway Park where the World Series will be played at the same time.What streets will be closed and will the Green Line be shut down between the Hynes Convention Center and Kenmore Square? SS isn’t going to tell people ahead of time. This is going to be a nightmare for those going to the game.

Go to the link and read the rest. FR posting limits forced me to cut the narrative right there. Every bit of it is funny and a keeper.

I’m on raccoonradio’s ping list for Howie. He is the funniest columnist I ever read.

I heard she and 0bummer will be laser-like focused on job creation at this gay-la.

Game 1 of a highly anticipated World Series starts tonight at Fenway - that’s the #1 place to be in all of America tonite.

Yet, leave it to the idiotic Democrats to plan an event to compete with that, and expect anyone in Boston to care. Wow, Chelsea Clinton even.

Go Sox.
