The Treasury Department’s delay to Obamacare’s employer mandate filled John Podhoretz with adolescent glee.

Conservatives have been unable to hide their schadenfreude as Obamacare has stumbled out of the gate the last several months, and the Commentary editor is no exception.

Writing in his New York Post column on Tuesday, Podhoretz had a message for “all of you who celebrated and wept and danced when it passed back in March 2010,” when the Affordable Care Act was signed into law.

Neener neener neener.
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah.

See, Podhoretz knew all along that the law both “sucks and blows,” so please permit him one more schoolyard taunt for good measure.

Nanny nanny boo boo.

If only Podhoretz had been equipped with the same prescience during the 2012 presidential campaign.
