'This guy is not joking': Brit Hume, others floored by Ezra Klein's explanation for Sebelius resignation

As we reported earlier, Secretary of Health & Human Services Kathleen Sebelius is resigning.

Vox.com’s Ezra Klein, formerly of the Washington Post, tweeted that Sebelius stepping down is a sign that Obamacare has achieved true awesomeness:

Ha! Once a lapdoggie, always a lapdoggie.

Fox News’ Brit Hume was amazed:

The guy is not joking! “@ezraklein: Kathleen Sebelius is resigning because Obamacare has won http://t.co/TqNu6CzYD7”

And others piled on Klein’s unintentional comedy bit, rightly so:

Fantasize all you want; if #Obamacare had won, Sebelius wouldn't be jumping off the ship. @ezraklein

@ezraklein In who's imagination? Millions of cancelled policies, 2.6 MM jobs lost & trillions added to nat'l debt, not a success. Sorry!

If by 'Obamacare has won' you mean Americans have lost, then yes, I agree. @ezraklein
