Watching the Congressional Circus on C-SPAN. So how damn EMBARRASSING is it to be a Pubbie today?
Who could watch and listen to the "Conga line" of virtually every GOP representative as they stepped to the podium, one at a time to use EXACTLY the same words to "Ask unanimous consent to extend and revise my remarks in opposition to this flawed bill" and not think the spectacle to be LAME beyond belief?

It was disturbing to hear them STILL repeating the same lies that have already been debunked and proven false time and time again. Frankly, some of them came off more plain old-fashioned stupid than evil. And, they compound their stupidity by being so proud of their stupidity.

5. I know you are likely correct but, at some point, I think we have to acknowledge that, if that
type of mindless posturing is all it takes to persuade a majority of our fellow Muricans, we DESERVE the bigotted authoritarianism that must result.
