Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

Republicans, All Wrong, All the Time, Pt .23 - Chicken Coup?

Ezra Klein on TEH Boner.

So in all likelihood, what separates a tax cut bill that's "chicken crap" from a tax cut bill that's great is its treatment of the richest 1 percent of households in Boehner's district. And $700 billion slapped right onto the deficit. If Republicans win this debate despite the unpopularity of their position and its violent contradiction to their stated concern for the deficit, it'll be one of the most impressive coups in recent political memory.




Well, I'm not chicken. TEH Boner - the  damned incoming Speaker of the House - is full of SHIT!

I agree with your sentiment. The problem is that the Democrats just don't seem capable of seizing on an opportunity and re-framing the narrative. As the late Casey Stengel once lamented regarding the hapless NY Mets:"Can't anybody here play this game?"

Sadly, no.
