John Boehner, whose only hope of going down in history is to make it into the books as the weakest, most spineless jackass ever known in American government (even James Buchanan would blanch), has acquiesced to the latest House GOP plot to blow up the world.
Saturday he said he could and would do no more in the House regarding the CR and debt-limit, and turned negotiations over to the Senate; yet today, his manipulators have trotted him out to endorse their crazy plan to thwart whatever deal comes out of the Senate by pre-empting it with a shitpile scheme of their own. The result? Much more haggling and acrimony. Now we will have two bills competing against each other as the clock ticks towards doom.
My guess is that Boehner’s action today (actually Cantor’s action—he seems to have removed Boehner’s balls and is carrying them around his neck along with his witchbane) will insure that not enough time remains to untangle this new mess before default strikes.
Yet more evidence the GOP is guided solely by the Hitler principle—If I can’t get everything my own way I will take the whole world down with me.
I keep hearing the wingnut right crying, regarding their political frustrations: “Time for a Second Amendment solution!”
Hmm…..
