Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-NC just won that title. According to politicalticker.com:
To the best of your knowledge, has a man ever given birth to a baby? As the hearing moved toward its end, Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-North Carolina, asked Secretary Sebelius that question, aiming to highlight that some men may be forced to buy maternity coverage as part of an insurance package under Obamacare. Sebelius responded that some men do need maternity coverage for their spouse and family, who could be covered under their policy. Ellmers insisted this is an example of why health care costs are going up, insurance coverage that may not be necessary for everyone.
Ellmers also asked why a 31 year old single man would need maternity coverage, Well, isn’t that an interesting question. What if Mr. 31-year-old impregnated a woman and he married her, and picked her up on his policy. Just out of curiosity, haven’t men always paid for maternity coverage? Haven’t I always paid for prostate issues? That is just such a hokey thing to get in a knot over. I have never seen a policy where you can itemize what you want on your plan. Add this, take this off, just isn’t open to most of us.
The worst thing about Ellmers was that she smiled behind her coffee cup after she delivered what she thought was the knock-out punch to Sebelius. I found her behavior to be rude and juvenile. She made an ass of herself and yet she was too smug to realize that it was she who looked like a 13 year old.
