White House On Sebelius’ Daily Show Appearance: Embarassin’!

On MSNBC yesterday, an NBC reporter appearing from the White House discussed some of the rationale behind Kathleen Sebelius abrupt departure. Among the reasons, mentioned only briefly here, were her fumbles in public appearances.


I don’t know about you but this give me no end of amusement. Sebelius has been a train wreck from start to finish in her job, and in particular in her press appearances. From being unable to pull up the Healthcare.gov website due to an error, to just yesterday when she was missing a whole page of her resignation speech, she has been a a disaster to behold. How fitting that the Obama White House would single out the “rocky” Daily Show spot.

They certainly know their core constituency: low-information voters who think Jon Stewart is some kind of benevolent truth-teller. You know, suckers.

You can watch Sebelius on the Daily Show here.
