“There are no glitches,” MSNBC host Ed Schultzdeclared. Ever, you ask? No, only in the case of the divinely inspired and flawlessly executed health care exchanges that opened on Tuesday as part of the Affordable Care Act. In fact, the widely reported and well-documented failures that the system experienced on opening day were, according to Schultz, a myth propagated by Fox News Channel.
Schultz began his commentary on Wednesday by imploring that the White House refuse to budge off of their position that they will refuse to seek a negotiated settlement with Republicans in Congress to reopen the federal government.
“This is about standing strong,” Schultz insisted. “This is about not backing down. This is about showing a spine.”
“You can just listen to them manufacture glitches,” he continued. After a brief digression, Schultz returned to his central point about the exchanges not experiencing” glitches” of any kind.
“There are no glitches,” he insisted. “If you opened up a restaurant and you couldn’t feed anybody because there were too many people that got in early, and you just couldn’t handle the line, do you think the manager of the restaurant is going to go back and chew out the staff because the response was overwhelming? I think they would probably call that a good night at the office.”
“But, of course, Fox News and the republicans, they call that a glitch,” he concluded.
