USA: Beacon of Stupid - I Want What I Don't Want

I'm sure there's a block of voters in Maryland who are so proud of their latest champion, Andy Harris, who was recently elected on a platform of repealing that horrible beast known as "Obamacare." It seemingly only took minutes after Harris was elected for him to start demanding where his government run healthcare was:

Republican Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who defeated freshman Democrat Frank Kratovil on Maryland's Eastern Shore, reacted incredulously when informed that federal law mandated that his government-subsidized health care policy would take effect on Feb. 1 – 28 days after his Jan. 3rd swearing-in.

"He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care," said a congressional staffer who saw the exchange. The benefits session, held behind closed doors, drew about 250 freshman members, staffers and family members to the Capitol Visitors Center auditorium late Monday morning.

"Harris then asked if he could purchase insurance from the government to cover the gap," added the aide, who was struck by the similarity to Harris's request and the public option he denounced as a gateway to socialized medicine.

Harris, a Maryland state senator who works at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and several hospitals on the Eastern Shore, also told the audience, "This is the only employer I've ever worked for where you don't get coverage the first day you are employed," his spokeswoman Anna Nix told POLITICO.

FAIL.

Actually, Anna, most employers add you to their health plan only after you've passed a trial period, which could be anywhere from 30-90 days. Still, I find the schadenfreude most enjoyable, watching a total dipshit like Harris whinge and cry about the very thing he wants to deny others.

Selfish cognitive dissonance much?
