I just heard the news today, oh boy...
Can we please get rid of Harry Reid? Please?
Great success! Harry got a bill through the Senate which is (or should be) at the very limit of what the Dems will accept for final passage!
Haven't we seen this before? The Dems state an initial position which they think is a reasonable compromise, and then the GOPers say "Well thanks for stating your starting position... our starting position is about fifty thousand miles to the right. Let the negotiations begin!"
But you really gotta hand it to Harry... just because he's been end-played every goddammed time for the past four years, that doesn't mean he's about to change his ways. What at tool. What a goddammed f**king idiot.
Hey Harry! Here's an idea... why not let Max Baucus or Ben Nelson lead the conference committed to hash out a final deal with the GOPers? It's worked so well in the past, don't you know.
Harry makes McConnell look smart. For Crissakes he'd make my dog look smart. Wnat an idiot.
McConnell, to his credit, is exactly correct: the House has the responsibility for starting this chess match. Boehner and his idiot-children have to cobble together their starting point for the negotiation... something so outlandish that everyone can see how out-of-touch the GOPers really are. Then, Reid, if he weren't such an idiot, could play the game that Boehner will now be playing.
