Schieffer: Gov’t Shutdown, Obamacare Rollout the Dumb and Dumber of Washington

Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer put a pox on both the houses of the government shutdown and the troubled Obamacare rolllout on Sunday morning, comparing the twin disasters to the film Dumb and Dumber, and assigning them the status of Worse and Worser.

“Is ‘worser’ a word?” Schieffer wondered. “Turns out it is. We looked it up. The shutdown was the worst, but this thing is worser.”

“It was the Washington we’ve come to know: all talk, all the time,” Schieffer continued, denouncing both the poor rollout and the critics who were “foaming at the mouth” over it. “But at the end of the day, [it was] just another example of how government seems incapable of making things better, and it never seems to learn…There may be lesson here: if those involved would spend less time refining their talking points, and more time actually trying to make things work.”

“The way this thing is going,” Schieffer concluded, “it is a good thing we have a word like ‘worser.’”

The Pubbies failed to keep the Dims from making a first down, but now the Dims are First and 20 on third down.

The enemies of Obamacare have done a very effective job of damaging it by not having 36 states participate in the state exchanges. Really has flooded the national web site. On the other hand, I have not heard one peep about the Orca problems last election.

Lefties can never outright admit their errors or failures. Instead, they resort to the “pox on both your houses” adage.
