Baghdad Bob Award Winner

House Delays Debt Plan Vote An earlier Roll Call story announcing that Boehner was postponing the vote on his massive $29B deficit reduction bill (Ahem) contained this Baghdad Bob Award winning spin on tea-partier resistance to that piece of crap.

“ A second Democratic aide said more seriously, “It’s clear Republicans are having trouble getting the votes on their side for Speaker Boehner’s partisan bill, which shows that they should be working with Democrats on something that can actually pass both chambers and be signed into law. ” There was a time when I thought idiocy like this was tongue-in-cheek.  I was stupid.
