Here's why (from
USA Today):
President Obama's appearance on the Web talk show Between Two Ferns with comedian/actor Zach Galifianakis has bumped traffic to Healthcare.gov.
Obama pitched health care enrollment in the interview, which was posted to Funny or Die's website Tuesday morning.
Tuesday's traffic to Healthcare.gov was almost 40% over Monday's traffic. This morning there were more than 890,000 visits to the site, according to a tweet by HealthCare.gov.
Needless to say, conservatives
were not amused (despite the fact that Obama's appearance on the on-line talk show
was pretty fucking hilarious):
For some Republicans, it was funny until the conversation turned to health care. Other conservatives found the whole thing undignified, and called it a distraction from the real issues. Still others saw it as further evidence of Hollywood's liberal bias, and wondered what was the point of comedy that was deferential to authority.
My favorite right-wing response to all this is from Congressman Randy Weber (R-Tex.), who tweeted:
"Instead of wasting time with a parody interview, he should be focusing on finding answers re: #Benghazi"
Ben-
Ghaaaa-zi!
