how many of the repukes calling for the House to come back into session were whining about the loss of the 5 day weekend when Pelosi said they should work a 5-day week?

If the MSM gives the rethugs enough coverage on this stunt, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that Nancy will call the House back into session and give them their “up or down vote”.

House and Senate Dems just don’t like it when those mean rethugs call ‘em names. It hurts their wittle feelings and they just want it to stop!

Get it over Nance, go ahead and cave to the rethugs. We know you want to.

And the big energy plan they are touting consists of what? More kisses and hugs for oil companies, and the shaft for the rest of us. Thank you modern media, you are making me realize that with practice, lube is no longer needed.

Most assuredly! You just go ahead and sign up for the Republican Party’s new Pay n’ Pray™ plan. Then you fervently force yourself to believe that donating money to a corrupt douchebag like Mr. Boehner, and pray that your nagging suspicion that he’s nothing but an inflated sack of shit is just plain wrong in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, and before you know it (sometime around 2017) you’ll be eligible for the $0.02/gallon Loyalty TrickleDown Discount™ *

Supporting a Republican in office is not for everybody. It may cause feelings of guilt, anxiety, and possible felony charges of aiding and abetting a known criminal. As with any unhealthy activity, see you doctor before committing to a life as a GOP donor)

.” They really are the most profound wankers ever to walk upright and master the English language…

Master? Really? Not the word I would use to describe their gibberish.

I’m not embarrassed for them because I know this sort of shit plays real well in the press. They obstruct for months on end, stage a little political theater, and the news stories don’t mention the obstruction at all. These people are maliciously undemocratic, with a small d.

God, I never thought I would say this, but I am actually becoming embarrassed for these profoundly silly people as they start their slow march to the political wilderness. If they put out a tin cup, I would probably drop in a dollar so they could get some freedom fries. So sad.
