Do you need more proof that we are idiots -- after this?

Kevin Drum's headline says it all.

Here's Hoping That Obamacare Is Better Than That Appalling Obamacare

Listen, we know this kind of stuff happens all the time.  Each time it happens, though, we dismiss the idiocy as a one-off deal.  People can't really be this scatterbrained.  Or so driven by partisan politics that they're blinded to their own blindness.   So blind they think that odd darkness is really wisdom?

Here's what Drum found:

A few days ago I mused on the possibility that when Obamacare finally hits the streets, the actual state programs that implement it will refer to it as the "Affordable Care Act" and all the folks who hate Obamacare might not even recognize it. It turned out that Jonathan Bernstein has been making this same point for a while—great minds think alike and all that—but today Sarah Kliff passes along the perfect anecdote to support this. It comes from HuffPo's Jason Cherkis, and what I'd forgotten is that the state programs don't even call it ACA. They all have their own names:

A middle-aged man in a red golf shirt shuffles up to a small folding table with gold trim, in a booth adorned with a flotilla of helium balloons, where government workers at the Kentucky State Fair are hawking the virtues of Kynect, the state’s health benefit exchange established by Obamacare.

The man is impressed. “This beats Obamacare I hope,” he mutters to one of the workers. ...

There's more. And we'll likely hear a whole lot more about the great new insurance policies the states are offering. Just so long as the fedrul gubment an' that damn Obama stay out of it...
