What? Yes, this happened during Kathleen Sebelius’ testimony on the Obamacare debacle Wednesday morning.
Rep Eliot Engel D-NY compares GOP to Chicken Little, charging they want the Obama health law to fail

Sigh.
Note to Rep. Engel: The debacle is doing a pretty good job of failing all on its own.

I was waiting for chicken little to make an appearance at the hearing and Rep Engel brought him to the fight.

I bet Rep. Eliot Engel was fidgeting in his seat, just waiting to throw out that dynamic Chicken Little analogy #Sebelius

Heh.
The ludicrous “Chicken Little” reference wasn’t the only absurdity uttered during the hearing.
Eliot Engel brings in Chicken Little to join the Wizard of Oz
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) October 30, 2013
First Oz made an appearance, now Chicken Little. Congress needs a metaphor app update.

Twitter users mocked like the wind.
Wow. @RepEliotEngel compared Republicans to Chicken Little, when it is @TheDemocrats who said the sky was falling about healthcare.
— Mister H (@ATHudd) October 30, 2013
Engel (D-NY) calls Republicans "Chicken Little," completely ignoring that the website doesn't work and the policies are falling.

@AdamBaldwin But… Democrats just told us those stories were a basket of red herrings carried into the hearings by Chicken Little!
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) October 30, 2013
Chicken Little! We’ve gone straight looney tunes, y’all. #BlameBush #drink

Hey, what about Elmo?
Um. At the White House w/FLOTUS. RT @SusanPage Chicken Little. Pinocchio. Wizard of Oz. My question for #healthcare hearing: WHERE IS ELMO?
— Olivier Knox (@OKnox) October 30, 2013
Snicker.
And an exit point that brings it all home:
Boy, Democrats can't get enough of insulting Americans who lost insurance. First you're red herrings, now you're Chicken Little.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) October 30, 2013
Yep. Obama and his administration lied to Americans over and over. Millions are losing insurance plans that they like and want to keep. Chicken Littles? Their sky is falling. Their families are hurting.
But, hey. Childish metaphors mocking their pain will totally help.
