Sorry to title with a semi-obscure Bard quotation. All other comment on the hostage crisis on the Beltway will be provided by Jon Stewart.
Whether or not you’d have voted for the deal yourself, I think we can all agree on three things: 1. it was necessary, 2. it was ugly, and 3. the whole situation was terrifying and irresponsible. If you needed proof that the Republicans would rather take America down in flames than let Obama get something done, you’ve got it now.
Please don’t let this behavior get rewarded. Washington Republicans are proving that they care very little about whether ordinary Americans sink or swim. In 2012, let’s show them the feeling is mutual.
