Has Thomas Friedman weighed in on this inability of the president to call Grassley?

He's not even a member of the <a href="http:\/\/www.senate.gov\/pagelayout\/senators\/a_three_sections_with_teasers\/leadership.htm" target="_blank">Senate GOP leadership team</a>.

I ate part of a tree today... an orange tree. Not exactly a forest tree, though, I'll admit.

I guess the Senate just likes jamming a whole bunch of stuff together and calling it a committee, like Health, Education, Labor and Pensions

Poor little victim.

Gosh, it seems like only yesterday he was acting like a bully.

Then like a victim, and then like a bully, and then a victim, and then a bully.

The only thing duller than Chuck Grassley? Dried paint. In the bottom of a paint can.

Oh, so the President stopped calling after Grassley proved that there was <em>absolutely no fucking point talking to him because he is the very epitome of a bad faith actor</em>? And we thought Bamz was slow to learn!

Protip, Chuck: don't be such a backstabbing lying lowlife if you want anyone but Republicans to talk to you.

You could have just said "he was talking", and we'd have known he was lying.
