As my readers can easily tell, I have and will enjoy the hell out of watching the GOP deal with being in the minority (and will enjoy it even more when the Democrats recapture the White House). Today’s bit of fun is Patrick Ruffini declaring that the Democrats hundred hours is a failure because they accomplished their stated goals in 42 hours.
That’s right, things are bad because we delivered on what we promised the American people in even less time than we thought. We’re ahead of the game, so we clearly screwed up.
In 42 hours the Democratic House:
* Enacted the 9/11 commission recommendations
* Raised the minium wage
* Voted for federal funding for stem cell research
* Pushed for lower prescription drug costs
* Cut interest rates for student loans
* Ended handouts to big oil and upped investments in renewable energy
But because it didn’t stretch out to 100 hours, this is a bad thing.
That is, if you think like a Republican and not a normal person.
If this is as good as their criticism is gonna get, they might as well give up. And I thought the Democrats were the party of no ideas…
Please tell me that was an article from The Onion.
In the Republican Congresses, 100 hours represented the work effort a Congressperson’s entire term! I can understand how they are upset to see it compressed to a couple weeks.
God grant us the serenity to ignore the frivolous right-wing sniping, the political energy to completely refute the important attacks, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Ya know how you and I are deranged bush haters? Check out what the lovely civilized responsible republicans around the net are saying about Nancy Pelosi’s clothes and about Pelosi herself.
Ann Outhouse is a good place to start.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read by anyone ever, including David Brooks.
Peter Parker: A hundred bucks? The ad said three thousand.
Wrestling Promoter: Well, check it again, web head. The ad said three grand, for three minutes, and you pinned him in two. For that I give you a hundred, and you’re lucky to get that.
Peter Parker: I need that money.
Wrestling Promoter: I missed the part where that’s my problem.
Imagine if wed attached an ‘under budget’ sticker to it as well.
Too bad things aren’t going that well in the Senate.
Oh, I forgot … in the Senate they are actually allowing Republicans to debate the bills and add amendments. Silly me.
The Redstate people are playing the same silly game.
The thing that pisses me off about this so-called “42″ hours is you see how long they spent doing their job.
No, the 42 is the number of hours spent in session.
Do you think the only time a lawyer works is when he’s in court?
Man, that Kathy person over there could give Frank a run for his money.
I wonder if she’s a trans- anything? They could hook up.
See, Frank, it’s not just me, silly!
