Having realized that voting NO on every initiative the President has backed (not to mention employing any and all obstructionist tactics to forestall and derail the administration), Senator Angry Lawn Gnome, AKA John McCain (Grumpy Smurf-Arizona) defiantly announced yesterday...
"There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year. They have poisoned the well in what they've done and how they've done it."
But is it possible for a party that's threatened to filibuster EVERY piece of legislation get LESS bipartisan?
Oh, you bet your brill creamed bippy, they can.
Democrats, meet yourselves... the DOUBLEBUSTER™!
The DOUBLEBUSTER™ is a little know parliamentary procedure (James Polk first tried it) whereby the minority party needs exactly-forty one votes (along with a dead crow, a moldy Ho-Ho from a vending machine at the Pentagon and the blood from the virginal daughter of a daughter of a Daughter of The Revolution) to not only BLOCK a majority decision, but to REVERSE IT, ENTIRELY.
That’s correct, Confederate Flag Waving Goons, there’s still hope out there!
Don’t like the XX crowd fucking up the PVC (pasty Viagra club)?
DOUBLEBUSTER™… and suddenly a vote on the the Paycheck Fairness Act gets REVERSO'D to mean no more chicks in the voting booth.
Heck, its like the suffrage movement NEVER HAPPENED!
Are you pissed about long waits at lunch counters and drinking fountains?
BLAMMABUSTER™©… a group that represents less than a 1/3rd of America can just reverse course to 1964, where Newt Gingrich can get rid of the pesky dark-skinned people at his golf club and the Democrats can regain their rightful majorities throughout the racist south!

Social security... medicare... medicaid... the state of Hawaii... the DOUBLEBUSTER™ is basically a kryptonite matzoh ball in their chicken noodle soup.
Seriously, folks, right now the only thing standing in the way of the REAL AMERICA Tea Party Wackafrappachinos love and remember (AKA a slave in every pot and loveless uncomfortable heterosexual marriage in every repressed gay closet) is that its easier to find a live dodo bird then to find a sacrificial VIRGIN at any of the sororities south of the Mason Dixon line.
(Have you been to SMU?)
But John McCain will keep looking.
Yes, he will.
Because there’s no way he’s going to allow this representational democracy thing to go on one day longer.
