House Republican Comedy Show Held Over

I first learned about the exciting and dynamic new strategy from House Republicans from Wonkette on August 1st. I don't think Sara understands the power of her written words. The tragic call for megaphones was answered, assuring the confused tourists wandering through the U.S. Capitol Building will be able to hear the lonely, sad calls of the Representatives crying out to be taken seriously.

Now, emboldened by the fact that not every single person in the world considers them a joke, House Republicans plan to continue their comedy show. I understand the lights have been turned on, but the darkness in their minds never lifts. A few concerned and compassionate liberals have called for euthanasia for the Representatives, rather than let their misery continue. Dittoheads vigorously responded that the Representatives' suffering makes them better martyrs, but vowed Rush would take some Oxy and smoke a cigar in their honor.

Minority Leader John Boehner apparently plays golf while his minions toil. To be fair, he never said he would give up golf. There is a rotation list, commonly referred to as the "detention roster," which lists the Republican leaders relegated to overseeing detention in the House on any given day. Keeping the Representatives there may seem cruel, but the world is a safer, more peaceful place while the Republican Congressmen are kept there. I have argued against rendition in the past; I will not reverse course now just because our nation would be better off if we shipped the Congressmen to a parliament in a foreign nation.
