And even the New York Times can’t help itself from revealing what total dumb-asses those Dem wits in the House and Senate are:

In a new report, the Congressional Research Service says the law may have significant unintended consequences for the “personal health insurance coverage” of senators, representatives and their staff members.

For example, it says, the law may “remove members of Congress and Congressional staff” from their current coverage, in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, before any alternatives are available.

The confusion raises the inevitable question: If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans?

As Nanny Nancy Pelosi said in so many words, “We’ll have to pass this bill to find out what’s in it.” Wow! Ain’t that the truth! They didn’t “fully grasp” crap!

The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges.

But the research service found that this provision was written in an imprecise, confusing way, so it is not clear when it takes effect.

The new exchanges do not have to be in operation until 2014. But because of a possible “drafting error,” the report says, Congress did not specify an effective date for the section excluding lawmakers from the existing program.

Under well-established canons of statutory interpretation, the report said, “a law takes effect on the date of its enactment” unless Congress clearly specifies otherwise. And Congress did not specify any other effective date for this part of the health care law. The law was enacted when President Obama signed it three weeks ago.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch o’ pathetic losers — and many of them will be even bigger losers in November! Purple Avenger over at Ace reacted with this:

ObamaCare™ is apparently like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get…even if you’re the brain dead jackasses who wrote the fracking thing.

If these drool bib wearing imbeciles can’t even get it right for themselves, what shot do you have with this?

How you be likin’ that Obamacare now, Congresscritters?
