Stop! Our aching sides really can’t take it! Spelling is hard and so is reality.
As Twitchy reported earlier today, Democrat strategist Donna Brazile tweeted her confusion over the increase in her health care premiums. What could the reason possibly be? After Twitter users gasped for breath, they helpfully attempted to explain reality to Ms. Brazile. However, Ms. Brazile wasn’t content with exposing her idiocy just once: She’s back for more!
methinks @donnabrazile is consulting with the spin doctors to explain her tweet… Is that covered under #obamacare?

Um, @donnabrazile? If they're citing age, that's due to ObamaCare too. FYI. https://t.co/4XI80gXE2x

.@donnabrazile it's price "gouging". You have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm sure you have spell check. https://t.co/485TXNUYT9

To be fair, she’s unintentionally correct with “gauging.” Because, guess what? Gauging the cost of Obamacare is exactly what insurers are doing.
Brazile continued to spin-tweet.
It's hard to respond to Rush the entertainer while working, but I am sure he needs a primer on #obamacare. Ok, I own a small business.

Oh, sweetie. Look in the mirror.
Starting in 2014, insurers will no longer be able to raise rates as they can right now. #obamacare
— Donna Brazile (@donnabrazile) February 27, 2013
Being a woman will no longer be a pre-existing condition justifying higher rates & being over 40 will no longer be an excuse to price-gouge.

Oh, the old lady parts “pre-existing” nonsense straight from Nancy Pelosi’s unmovable mouth.
Under Obamacare, the no insurer can charge mature folks more than 3 times as much as they charge twentysomethings. Again, January 1, 2014.

We are living at the end of that era until Jan. 1. And folks like me under 65 will have to endure this until #obamacare fully kicks in.
— Donna Brazile (@donnabrazile) February 27, 2013
So, I am looking forward to the full implementation of #obamacare so I do not have to fight with my health provider on an ongoing basis.

Just precious. Twitter users continue to helpfully provide Ms. Brazile with some reality-based lessons. And, of course, well-deserved and delicious mockery.
@donnabrazile You're a special kind of naive, aren't you?

.@TabithaHale @donnabrazile because covering dependents until they're 26 doesn't cost a dime. It's #pricegauging (sic)

It is embarrassing. But it sure is entertaining. Keep digging, Donna!
