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.

Look out Kansas.
IF THE KANSAS CITIZENS SUPPORT HER THEY WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE FOR DOING IT.
NOOO///
any state that would elect her to the senate is an Obama follower.
Puppet Obama has done very well directing George Soros agenda upon the USA!!! Using puppet Kathleen Sebelius to waste over a $$$ TRILLION tax dollars on the Obama care startup!!!
Now puppet Obama is “touting” Sebelius for US SENATE!!! If what puppets Obama and Sebelius have already done to destroy the USA isn’t enough, SOROS is now ready to “buy” Sebelius a SENATE. SEAT!!!
It is time in November 2014 & 2016 to remove this SOROS PLAGUE from elected offices all across the USA!!?
Onward my fellow USA CitizenVOTERS!!!
Vote ALL puppet Obama supporters out of office in November 2014 !!!
Puppet master George Soros mentor was Adolph Hitler!
Soros is preparing us AMERICAN Citizens for the same fate HITLER taught him to use on the JEWS in 1938-1945!!!
You get what you vote for. I would be surprised if there were that many stupid people in Kansas.
You have got to be $#%&!@*ting me! But you know the sad thing is? People will actually support her. Liberals are so stupid they will be convinced she did a wonderful job with the ACA. They will be told it wasn’t really all that bad and it was Bush’s fault anyway for lying about it, and it’s all dancing bunnies, and butterflies and pink unicorns now! Oh Boy!
Corruption does pay ——
Kansas does not want her back in Kansas!!!
would anyone vote for her?
