It is now clear that Wolf Blitzer wants to go into the Viral Music Video Business. Why else would he spout gibberish so similar to that of Ylvis, the Norwegian What Does the Fox Say? sensation? Here's Wolf's bid for YouTube greatness, as transcribed by Pipsorcle in a diary yesterday:
"If they had three years to get this ready, if they weren't fully ready, they should accept the advice Republicans are giving them, delay it for a year, get it to work. There are health insurance sites that work great. If they didn't get it ready in time, make sure to get it right."
In other words:
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
What does the fox wolf say?
All Wolf needs now are the animal costumes and the choreography:
What does the Wolf say? I'm an idiot.
Wolf is a truly deep thinker, especially for a member of the canis lupus species. He actually figured out that because of some glitches in the roll out of the ACA, the Republicans are right that it should be delayed for year. Wolf knows that the glitches are the only reason for the delay requested by the Republicans. He knows this even though the Republicans were demanding a delay even before the glitches appeared. He knows this even though the glitches show the high demand for insurance among the uninsured and under-insured. He knows this even though a year's delay would prolong the health and economic suffering of millions who will sign up. He knows this even though there are six months for the glitches to be fixed.

Special Thanks to my 13-year old twin daughters, who insisted I watch the Ylvis video, a worthy successor to David (The Chipmunks) Seville's 1958 classic Witch Doctor. Ting, Ting Walla Walla Bing Bang, indeed.
