Yes, I know that Harry Reid and the Democrats are acting like the very animals which symbolize their party on the payroll tax cut extension.
However, as repugnant as the imagery of asses pulling the nation backwards may be, even more disgusting is the mind-picture of two circus elephants pulling at opposite directions, with the American middle-class caught in the middle.
Such is the consequence of the mind-boggling snafu which has left the GOP in complete shambles with regard to the payroll tax extension.
Good heavens, did Mitch McConnell negotiate with Harry Reid and reach an agreement for a 60-day extension, rather than the one-year version which passed the House, or did he not?
If McConnell did, in fact, reach agreement with Reid, why in the hell was that not communicated to John Boehner before the Senate vote?
Why is the GOP left standing in the Capitol Mall covered with elephant dung four days before Christmas on a really important political matter?
Do John Boehner and Mitch McConnell even recognize each other?
