Stop it! We will soon need to be treated for permanent aching sides, but the error-riddled health insurance exchange websites are still on the fritz!

It’s so convenient that they somehow can’t possibly obtain those numbers, right?

@jaketapper Why wouldn't they have that set of data, if they can collect all of the other kinds?

CNN’s Jake Tapper is oh-so-baffled, heh.

@jimgeraghty it's a mystery to me

Will this puzzle ever be solved?

@jaketapper u shld ask how they know the 4.7M, but not those who enrolled. that makes no sense. and how do they know those 4.7 are unique

@jaketapper Doesn't that strike you as a rather obvious lie?

Ding, ding, ding!

Metaphor alert. MT @jaketapper: WH: 4.7 million unique visitors to Obamacare website-claims not to have # for folks enrolled.

Bingo! Time once again for the Obamacare metaphor pic that never gets old? We think so.
