It is just not me being melodramatic to say that Sen. Kay Hagan has embarrassed herself on the national stage. Turns out the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank —no right-wing nut is he —was listening in on Hagan’s deer in the headlights conference call with reporters.
Ouch —- Milbank blatantly mocks Hagan:
For now, all Hagan can do is wait and hope. The official purpose of Tuesday’s conference call was to announce her efforts to fix the Obamacare launch, but the efforts don’t amount to much: she “asked the administration” to postpone the sign-up deadline (let’s hope she asked nicely); she plans to send a letter (a sternly worded one, no doubt) requesting investigations into the contractors ; and she’s adding her name to legislation reinstating canceled plans.
…Should Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius keep her job? “You know,” Hagan replied, “I think what we need to do is we need to look at the, at the — what these contracts said, what these contracts, uh, will actually show and that’s why I think getting the general, uh, um, the GAO to do this as well as the, uh, the HHS, so we can see these contracts and, you know, I think w — w — you know, once I’ve rec — once I’m able to look at this accountability, um, then I, you know, uh, then I’ll be able to, uh, make a better determination.”
Maybe somebody should call a doctor.
Just don’t call Joe Biden. Oops —too late.
