MICHELLE MALKIN\’S UNBECOMING (BUT UNDERSTANDABLE) GLOAT

It is not becoming for someone to gloat.  But, at least sometimes, it is perfectly understandable.

Take Michelle Malkin, for example.  Few columnists in this country have been attacked more viciously than she has – all too often with racial and and gender references so crude that they should turn the stomach of any decent human being. 

I am talking about exactly the kind of sick filth that the left rails about………except for the fact that the left is precisely where just about all of it is coming from.

Speaking of the left, one of Ms. Malkin\’s detractors – particularly in the area of their disagreement on the viability of ObamaCare – has been Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) who, in addition to being a house member from Florida, Chairs the Democratic National Committee.

But who is having the last laugh?  Read the following excerpts from Ms. Malkin\’s latest column at townhall.com, and judge for yourself:

At the end of 2013, Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz had some nasty words for yours truly. Irked that I used my Twitter feed to criticize her Obamacare propaganda efforts, Wasserman Schultz snarked back at me:

 

“Thanks for spreading the word! You\’ll be eating them next year. #GetCovered.”

 

Classy as always. And completely wrong-headed as usual. Less than three months into 2014, how\’s dutiful Debbie and her Dear Leader\’s pet government takeover program doing? The most recent retreat measures — call it the Obamacare Endangered 2014 Midterm Democrats\’ Rescue Plan — include:

 

–Allowing insurers for two extra years to continue selling plans that otherwise would have been banned by Obamacare. Last fall,

 

–Extending the open enrollment period for 2015 from November 2014 to February 2015, a month longer than originally scheduled. (It will no doubt be extended again…)

 

–Relaxing eligibility requirements for insurers to qualify for financial help…

 

–Exempting labor unions, universities and other self-insured employers from paying a fee that creates the above-noted fund.

 

In addition, the White House last month allowed medium-sized employers an extra year to comply with the Obamacare mandate to offer insurance to all full-time workers and reduced the percentage of workers that large companies are required to cover. These latest regulatory walk-backs by administrative fiat all come on the heels of dozens of administrative delays and rollbacks.

 

In December and January, when Wasserman Schultz was busy acting like a 2-year-old in response to Obamacare critics, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was busy:

 

–Delaying premium payment deadlines.

 

–Delaying high-risk insurance pool cancellations.

 

–Delaying equal coverage mandates that force companies to drop health benefits rewards for top executives.

 

–Delaying onerous “meaningful use” mandates on health providers grappling with Obamacare\’s disastrous top-down electronic medical records rules.

 

While Wasserman Schultz defiantly claims all Democrats will proudly run on health care in 2014 and 2016, endangered Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan…(and) every vulnerable Senate Democrat who rammed Obamacare down America\’s throat is now running for the hills.

 

I\’d like to tell bratty Wasserman Schultz that Obamacare critics will have the last laugh. But we\’re too busy weeping at the senseless government-induced wreckage around us.

As you can see, Ms. Malkin has put together an excellent compendium of the revisions, backtracks, waivers and other tacit acknowledgements which demonstrate that ObamaCare is an unworkable monstrosity.

Should she be gloating over this?  Or maybe gritting her teeth in exasperation?  As Ms. Malkin tells us in the last paragraph, both are on the table…with the latter reaction winning out.

Maybe if enough voters feel the same way, and decide they\’ve finally had enough, we can end at least part of this horror show two years prior to seeing Barack Obama and his people in our rear view mirrors. 

Keep your fingers crossed.
