Woman on front page of healthcare.gov disappears
« on: October 27, 2013, 08:15:20 pm »
I was checking out the Twitchy story posted by Mystery about Bret Hume and Juan Williams when I saw the above headline. Where, oh where, has she gone?

Quote
Yes, it’s true. The pleasant-looking, smiling woman who fronted healthcare.gov for the better part of four weeks has gone missing. And who can blame her?

We thought maybe she emigrated to the Spanish-language site, but no.

Screen shots tell the rest of the story. She's gone and my life is just that much emptier.

The short piece is followed by a number of comments, some of which are quite amusing (and some are more than a tad vulgar).

Something tells me they used the photo without permission.

Probably... they probably plucked a stock photo.

It'd be a hoot if she were a Republican.
