I remember watching John Boehner on CBS's Face the Nation a few weeks ago saying he would not oppose extending the middle class tax cuts without the rich ones included, if that is what came to the floor. I could not believe my luck - did I really just hear that? Bob Schieffer clearly wondered the same thing, and asked him directly if he heard directly. He asked three separate times, and each time Boehner was very clear that he would not oppose extending tax cuts for the non-rich, although it is not his preference, all Americans, blah blah blah. At the time, I blew a kiss to the teevee and said, Thank you, you gave the Democrats a gift for November -- get the middle class stuff through and make the Republicans fight for the upper-class cuts (which are actually on the income you make over the high amount, not on the whole income) as a stand-alone. Thank and Praise the Lord, I said.

What an idiot I was.
