The zombie. He wants to die, but they won't let him.

Don't forget how he keeps pushing that goofy-ass budgeting system of "forward accounting" or "dynamic scoring" or "making shit up" or whatever the fuck it's called, in which the supposed future economic benefits of tax cuts get booked as income right now. And if (when) they never materialize, well, time for more budget cuts.

Seriously, this guy is the best they've got?

They do so have common ground, they hate each others guts.

I just saw this headline in the Hill and almost blew up: "Newt Gingrich Open to Return to Speakership". WTF? I mean, how? By what process? Has the Hellmouth opened and we all just fell through it?

Now I know what McCarthy meant by "sometimes you need to hit bottom."

Could the Dems possibly get themselves together to pull that off? Theory indeed.

Yes but now they've perfected the art of being chronically, intransigently miffed, so now that's really the only arrow left in their quiver. New Speaker has to have the perfect miffed face.

First, they would have to WANT to do it. That motivation would not come without a huge price tag.

Yup. He was in the delta tau delta fraternity at miami university, oxford, ohio. His roomate at the time was hutch blackstone. I tended bar at Ozzies and the Balcony. He was a nothing back then. One of my old college buddies actually brought this event to my recollection when ryan was running with romney.

See also Jim DeMint and Scott Brown. "Hey, just because government aid helped me, that doesn't mean it will help anyone else. Oh, and by the way, South Carolina would like everyone to send them moneyz please because FEMA is there helping, but probably really just to take their guns."

Oh but it IS the fault of POTUS Obama. I know because I read one a local site that the GOP can't find a speaker because " nobody wants to work with Obozo, duh!" The 'duh' solidified it,obviously.

But, once again - thanks Obama!

Well, he IS daft, but I kinda feel sorry for him anyway-something about his demeanormakes me think of a shelter dog.

I'd completely forgotten that lie! He was the Costanza Fiorina of his day - "remember, it's not a lie if you believe it."
