Just stumbled across this from a link in the comments section at Balloon Juice:
In just under 3 minutes, the creator shows in all its banal splendor, what "negotiating" with Republicans is about.
The video should be standard viewing for any Democrat in the Congress or over at the White House. When you watch this, the idiocy of "bipartisanship" is there for all to see.
Of course if Dems watched this and finally realized they're playing a fools game, our pals in the traditional media would start screaming "Excessive Partisanship" which is their dog whistle for Dems actually wielding a gun in a gun fight instead of the plastic butter knife they typically bring to such an event.
I should add, nothing in this short piece is anything we here at Teh Orange don't already know. But, while we can bray about it from the rooftops and write thoughtful articles about the fallacy of "negotiating" with Republicans, nothing speaks to the lunacy like actually listening to a conversation that encapsulates what we're screaming.
I posted it here mainly in the hopes that it'll get a bit more exposure.
