More accurate words than glitch: Flawed. Malfunctioning. Failed. Defective.

Precisely! But apparently media lapdogs have gotten the memo. It’s all about a “glitchy” website, baby! David Axelrod offered that ludicrous spin on Sunday, as did White House Obamacare flack Tara McGuinness when she retweeted Oliver Willis slamming the GOP. NBC’s Mark Murray jumped into the hack-tastic ring. He absurdly wondered what will happen to the GOP once the website is fixed. Just glitches, people!

.@mmurraypolitics Talk about the rate shock everyone was told wouldn't happen.

That @mmurraypolitics seems to think the website is O-care's biggest problem, instead of its most obvious, is sad groupthink.

Bingo.
Other citizens continue to be fed up with the “glitches” spin as well.

Website is major failure of data compilation, organization, & data storage. Calling it a 'glitch' is disingenuous at best. #obamacare

@missklamert an iPhone glitch isn't even comparable to the debacle that is #Obamacare…

Instead of, you know, finally getting around to wondering if ObamaCare was the best possible solution, they use terms like "glitches."

Barack to address 'glitches' with ObamaCare website. Because a $600 Million utter failure of a rollout is simply a glitch in ObamaLand.

Three WEEKS gone, and HHS still uses "#glitch" to describe the #Obamacare website disaster. No private sector biz would survive this. #FFS

The "glitch" in #Obamacare is that it is an unworkable bureaucratic takeover of 1/6th of GDP that defies the idea behind insurance. #tcot

And nutshelled perfectly:
Calling the #Obamacare website failure a glitch is like calling a severed leg a flesh wound… @greggutfeld @andylevy
