As I was eating my Doritos in my pajamas and watching Rachel Maddow, a funny thing happened. MSNBC was covering the latest train disaster known as the Republican Congress, and she had Chuck Todd on the phone. Todd was on the phone saying nasty things about the Republican leadership in the Congress. He also dismissed as impossible all the things Republicans hoped to do in this Congress (e.g., tax "reform"). Seems that Boehner, at least, has lost one of his big cheerleaders in the media.
I think Boehner will really be doomed when Luke Russert calls him a doofus.
Now, there is all this going back and forth by the reporters on MSNBC to cover the funding of the DHS, but like every other news organization, MSNBC just touches on the surface and doesn't dive deep into the essentials of this complex and thorny issue. So let me see if I can provide some truly in depth analysis.
1. Republican base voters hate the biracial guy in the White House.
2. Republican base voters can't understand how biracial guy got elected and then
re-elected president.
3. Republican base voters believe biracial guy is the Devil and must be resisted
with every fiber of our being.
4. If getting rid of the Devil involves destroying the nation to save it, so be it.
5. Proof that biracial guy is the Devil is that he isn't going to have mass deportations
of brown people. In fact, biracial guy is inviting the dreaded brown people over
for dinner.
6. Brown people will pollute our "precious bodily fluids," so out they must all go!
7. Republican base voters are fucking bigots and crazy, and they elect people like
themselves to Congress.
8. Said representatives do the bases's bidding and begin the destruction of the nation
force biracial guy out of the White House.
9. If Boehner, who has done what he can to undermine Obama at every turn,
makes one move to do something for the nation, he will be destroyed.
10. Boehner doesn't want to be destroyed, so he salutes crazies and says, "How
much destruction do you guys want?"
I think that should just about cover the basics of this political debate.
