As Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sat down to be interviewed, the Comedy Central host opened his laptop and issued a challenge: "I'm going to try and download every movie ever made, and you're going to try to sign up for Obamacare, and we'll see which happens first."
The website for people who don't have health insurance through their employers opened on Oct. 1, but has been plagued with glitches. The administration said that was because the program is so popular, but even defenders such as Stewart didn't buy the explanation.
HHS has declined to give numbers for how many have signed up under state exchanges, and when Stewart asked, Sebelius replied, "Fully enrolled? I can't tell you because I don't know." ...
Stewart repeatedly pressed Sebelius on why the individual mandate to buy insurance can't be delayed for a year since employers did get a one-year delay. Republicans have a valid point on the issue, he said.
But despite Sebelius' multiple attempts to answer the question, Stewart remained unable to grasp her reasoning. "Am I a stupid man?" he finally asked.
Stewart, a supporter of the Affordable Care Act, told Sebelius it is frustrating for him to have to defend the law when it "is less than ideal or is functioning at what seems to be a level of incompetence that is larger than what it should be."
As he closed out the show, with Sebelius no longer at his desk, Stewart admitted, "I still don't understand why individuals have to sign up and businesses don't."
Perhaps it is just too complicated to grasp easily, he said. "But then I think to myself, well, maybe she's just lying to me — just to me."

Jesus! Stewart - be careful - liberals don't play niceie nice... That said, thanks Jon - it took courage to stand up to one of 'em... tell your CPA to be extra careful with your returns... and hang in there.
ROFL!!! The Most Dreaded Nazi of Them All!
The American leftists have made Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin very happy.
THE MONEY QUOTE:
Toward the end, Stewart argued that a market-based strategy toward health care is a flawed concept in itself and that a single payer system would have been a more simple approach. But Sebelius jumped in, saying, “if we could have perhaps figured out a pathway, that may have been a reasonable solution.”
“So this is jerry-rigged to deal with the crazy people?” Stewart asked.
“I think the president did not want to dismantle the health care that 85% of the country had,” Sebelius responded.
LEFTIST BA****DS
They didn’t lose Stewart they weren’t radical enough for this man who will never have to participate in the leftist health care debacle.
He's no Cronkite, but he'll do.
“. “Am I a stupid man?” he finally asked.
Stewart, a supporter of the Affordable Care Act[...]”
Well, yes. But this level of incompetence is so blatantly obvious that even some of the stupid can see it when it kicks them and throws things at them, and pulls their hair. Too bad you didn’t see the obvious when it was merely having a fit in the lobby, and the other residents were complaining to you.
If these morons were in Paris in 1940 they would have been trying to convince every body that the Germans stomping down the Champs Elysees were just tourists.

If you are ‘old’ enough to remember who used to be the ‘brunt of all jokes’.......
“The reason the Germans took Poland so easy was they marched in backwards and everyone thought they were leaving”.
Must a chilly night in hell.
Pathetic when even a douche bag like Stewart gets it and the regime just continues to play dumb.
The CPUSA has lost Jon Stewart.
He’s no Cronkite, but he’ll do.
