This story was reported in The New York Times, not The Onion, so it is probably serious, but it is still astounding!
Somehow, former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius plans to parlay her dismal job overseeing the ObamaCare rollout into a Kansas state Senate seat!
In her darkest hour last fall, Kathleen Sebelius suffered one of the deepest cuts from an old family friend who accused her of “gross incompetence” over the rollout of the Affordable Care Act and demanded that she resign as secretary of health and human services. Now she is weighing revenge.Ms. Sebelius is considering entreaties from Democrats who want her to run against that old friend, Senator Pat Roberts, Republican of Kansas.
Several Democrats said this week that Ms. Sebelius had been mentioned with growing frequency as someone who could wage a serious challenge to Mr. Roberts, 77, who is running for a fourth term and is considered vulnerable. One person who spoke directly to Ms. Sebelius said that she was thinking about it, but added that it was too soon to say how seriously she was taking the idea.
It was only last week, after all, that Ms. Sebelius, 65, said that she would step down from her cabinet job.
Even if Ms. Sebelius had not presided over the Department of Health and Human Services at a time of turmoil and self-inflicted distress — and while carrying out a law that inspires such anger on the right — her candidacy would be a tough sell in Kansas. Democrats have not held a Senate seat in the state since 1939. And even before the president’s popularity started to take a steep slide last year, he fared especially poorly in Kansas, winning only 38 percent of the vote there in 2012.

If they’re stupid enough to elect her they deserve what they get
Looks like Harry Reid in drag.
Kansas residents cant be that stupid….
Bawhahahahah….. Really I think the folks in Kansas are way to intelligent to let her in.
If she wins the polls were fixed………
The United States government used the National Endowment for Democracy to fund the violence in the Ukraine and then used the Senate and House in Washington, DC to impose Sanctions on Russia for defending their people. No Incumbents. They gave us the stupid War on Terror and Obamacare and they have not fired Barrack Obama, Joe Biden, Eric Holder, and John Kerry.
Our NSA, EPA, IRS, CIA, Forestry Service, and Bureau of Land Management do not have any credibility after working with Eric Holder, Joe Biden, Barrack Obama, Harry Reid, McConnel, McCain, Pelosi, and Boehner.
Bloomberg should be fired and arrested for using our tax dollars and abusing his office to attack the Constitution of the United States which he sword an Oath of Office to support and Defend.
Anyone who held any position in Obama’s Administration should never be allowed to serve in any Federal or State or Local Office or work for our Government in any capacity for the rest of their lives.
OH ,BOY !! don’t let her get in because what she had done will get worse for Kansas
Fat chance
Why a sane state like Kansas want this traitor in the Senate. She has proven herself not worthy and incompetent to protect our Constitution and Freedoms.
