A-Team my ass.

More like F-Troop.

[Episiarch]

Who are the Hekawi?

[Invisible Finger]

The penaltaxpayers

[Invisible Finger]

So...

Melody Patterson or Donna Douglas?

[Episiarch]

Melody Patterson, duh. Well, wait...

[Scarecrow Repair]

They been renamed to the Redskins.

[Boisfeuras]

FYTW-Troop?

[Fist of Etiquette]

"I hate it when a plan so publicly falls apart."

[Loki]

Don't gimme no "technical glitches" gibber-jabber foo!

[Bill Dalasio]

But the whole plan is jibber-jabber!

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Not even Hannibal can come up with a plan to fix this mess.

Heck, I hear The A-Team turned the job down arguing it was easier to convince Pacifists the best way to fight fire was with fire.

[Hugh Akston]

I pity the fools who thought ObamaCare would just work out if they hid under some coats and wished hard enough.

[Mark22]

Don't worry, they'll just blame it on the Republicans, somehow.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Or looks like they can pin things on Ted Cruz - the buzzword for Mr.Burns type evil.

[sloopyinca]

alt-text:

A. A is for Asshole. A.

[Hillary's Clitdong]

There's no sugarcoating it. These fools deserve pity.

[Rich]

There's no sugarcoating it.

Tar and feathers, then?

[Episiarch]

I love it when a plan doesn't come together. For incompetent* politician scum especially.

* We need a new word for this amazing level of seemingly boundless, incomprehensible incompetence. I propose "incompetarded".

[Rich]

Seconded.

[Pro Libertate]

There's always inkhanpetent, but I find that too complimentary.

Infawningpetent?

Fuckless?

[0x90]

A friend of mine inadvertently made up a word this weekend. I'll try to work that in:

"In the end, the lumbering state proved too incompetarded to effectively conduct its planned program of comprehensive superveillance."

[Episiarch]

"Superveillance" is great. I'm going to have to use that.

[Mizchief]

Just remember that the NSA stands for the National Surveillance Agency.

[Pro Libertate]

Some of my favorite neologisms have come from typos.

[R C Dean]

Hence, RC'z law.

You're welcome.

[Pro Libertate]

It would've been better if you'd coined a typo neologism in your comment. Like, I dunno, welcam? I'm at a creative impasse at the moment.

[Faceless Commenter]

OBAMANANT

Or did I misspell that?

OBAMANENT

Maybe

OBAMANOUS

[Pro Libertate]

Ineptitard?

Inhoistpetarded?

[Episiarch]

I like mine better, but you already knew that.

[Pro Libertate]

For once, I agree. I don't love yours, but it's serviceable, and I can't come up with a better term. Not yet, anyway.

[Boisfeuras]

Has the administration reached Peak Petard yet?

[Invisible Finger]

"Bureaucrat" is just fine.

[Scarecrow Repair]

Add some Hispanic flair: burrocrat.

[Scarecrow Repair]

And throw in some real flair ... burrrrrocrattta

[General Butt Naked]

I think "bureautard" has a certain ring about it.

[Leigh]

Usually, it takes years for fuck ups of this scale to occur from the time it was legislated to the time the fuck ups appear. By that time, the original politicians have moved on, which shifts the blame to the current politicians.

The best part of this fuck up, is that most of the original players are still around!

[0x90]

"This is not a mundane detail, Michael!"

[Suthenboy]

Since the circus freakshow that is this administration is beyond parody, I wasnt sure if this was a joke or not. Really, I could see them making an ad where Obozo dressed up as Mr. T and personally dives into the code and emerges victorious. They are just that absurd.

[Episiarch]

In 2013 a crack technology unit was sent to Obamacare by an administration flunky for a botched website they didn't create. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security IT department to the Washington DC underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as coders of fortune. If you have a problem with your website because you are incompetarded, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...the A-Team.

No love for MUMPS?

[font_of_stupidity]

In 2008, an insufficiently-vetted community activist from Illinois won the presidency of the United States of America. This man promptly, and for the next four years, blamed everything in sight on his predecessor. Today, after winning re-election from voters wanting even more from the government, he thrives in luxurious vacation destinations every other week. If you have a problem, if you're unwilling to help yourself like every one of this man's voters, and if you can find him - probably on a world-class golf course - maybe you can ask for ... The A-Hole.

"Don't worry folks, because Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is bringing in the A-Team.

Literally."

Lots of people make this mistake. What you meant to write was...oh, wait.

[Austrian Anarchy]

At least they used the real A-Team instead of those whippersnapper impersonators.

[Mickey Rat]

I'm sure they'll knock out those difficulties as effectively as the A-Team shot their enemies.

[The Rt. Hon. Serious Man, Visc]

I was hoping Reason could come up with a full-intro like this

[Episiarch]

OK, I normally find mashups to be mostly banal, but that was pretty great.

[orangeclawhammer]

Back in the day when the A TEAM was big and telephone message machines were new, My message was- I can not answer your call now because the A team is on, please check your local listings and call me when the A TEAM is not on, dick.

[TheOldMan]

Why didn't they start with the excellent programmers?

[Pro Libertate]

Your words. . .are strange to me.

[Winston]

There's no sugarcoating it: Nick Gillespie's sense of humor is somewhat impaired.

[HazelMeade]

I have an idea!

Why don't they just tell everyone to go to eHealthInsurance.com insead?

[Libertarius]

In other news, the Obobo Regime has scored another hit for social justice, and is proud to announce the nationalization of eHealthInsurance.com

lol

[HazelMeade]

In retrospect, I'm surprised they didn't just do that.

Here's a perfectly good, functioning private health insurance website they could have just taken over and expanded, but no, they had to go build a giant all-encompassing masterpeice of a clusterfuck because this is Obama and he dreams BIG fucking world changing all encompassing dreams.

[Faceless Commenter]

To be fair, they did at least destroy half the products formerly sold on eHealthInsurance, so give them credit for that.

[buybuydandavis]

Isn't this the nice lady who said she could get the job done in 2 years when she was selling it, but then excuses herself from completing the job in 2 years by saying it was a 5 year job?

[Faceless Commenter]

Yes, thus implying that her boss the Olmighty signed into law an unworkable system with impossible schedules that was destined to cover its leaders with shame.

It's funny that in all the lefty bitching about the law's built-in disasters, no one ever asks why Obama SIGNED the thing.

"I love it when a plan comes together" - BHO

[ThomasD]

That wasn't George Peppard in the surgical garb, that was Barack Obama in white face.

How do I know?

The first thing he did when he came out that door was shoot his own rear tire.

Then he declared victory and had a smoke.
