Guest Calls Sebelius Questioning Harassment, Wolf Blitzer Says: Dems Hearings Were Tougher
CNN guest and progressive blogger Sally Kohn argued forcefully against the Republican questioning of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Wednesday afternoon, calling the hearing over the malfunctioning Affordable Care Act website harassmentleading CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer to recall his time spent covering the House Energy and Commerce Committee under combative Democratic chairman.
Lets take a bigger picture here, Kohn said. This was not a hearing. This was harassment. This was Republicans who are tired of flogging the Obamacare bill, saying all right, were going to try and flog Kathleen Sebelius. The irony is this is the same committee trying to say, Oh, were so concerned people cant sign up for this thing that we wanted to destroy it in the first place, and meanwhile weve been working for weeks to try and log with all these paper requests and all these data processing things and overwhelm all the other places that people can go up around the country to sign up other than the website. So theyre literally trying to destroy the path to Obamacare every point. They have no credibility to have a hearing like this.

to put aside the grandstanding and to remember what they were elected for, i.e. to govern for the benefit of their constituents!
