Shilling for the government health care takeover is hard work, apparently. After a “grueling” two years, former ABC News journalist-turned-official Obama mouthpiece Linda Douglass has announced that she is just plum spent. That Internet snitch brigade stuff she put together with health care czar Nancy DeParle really sapped her energy. Remember?

Exhausting, grueling job. Poor thing.

Question: Who will helm the federal HHS Obamacare help desk now?

No worries, I suppose. There are plenty of other former journalist/Obama water-carriers still on the government payroll.

As for Douglass:

“After nearly 2 years of work that has been exhilarating and grueling in equal measure, I am going to step off the treadmill for awhile and rediscover the experience of dining with my husband on a regular basis,” Douglass said in a statement. She said she will be “cheering with pride from the sidelines as this historic law takes effect.”

“Cheering with pride from the sidelines” for massive expansions of government power.

Not much different from what she and her old colleagues in the MSM already do in their newsrooms.
