Steve Scalise (R - Nazi Whisperer) had ONE job....

(with thanks to DUer MohRokTah for what we can only hope will become a Major Meme)]

So what does the job of "Majority Whip" involve?

Simple, really.

You're the one who assures the Majority Leader that the votes are there to pass whatever piece of legislation your party caucus is bringing to the floor.

And the GOP, as we all know, have a solid majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

So today, when they moved a GOP-supported bill to ease those bothersome Dodd-Frank restrictions on the high-level thievery of Wall Street to the floor for a vote, it should have sailed, right?

Wrong.

Republicans Fail to Quickly Pass House Bill Easing Dodd-Frank

You had ONE job, Steve.

ONE.

WTG, dude. I'm sure your Vaterland is proud.

2. I almost wonder if they allowed this bill to be defeated on purpose

They know Scalise is a liability to them but they can't admit it. They know they depend on the votes of white supremacists and they would anger their base if they forced him to resign over his ties to white supremecists. I am wondering if they might purposely be making him an ineffective whip so they can get rid of him and claim they did so because of his ineffectiveness rather than his white supremecist ties.

6. They are all evil, but they are not all stupid

There is always more to Washington politics than meets the eye, they know how to build people up and they also know how to tear them down.

5. I honestly starting thinking the same thing before I read your post.

Budweiser needs to resurrect their "Real Men of Genius" commercial series with a salute to John Boner!
