Call the Waaaaahmabulance: Party Before Country
Oh boohoohoohoohoohoo. Oh Gloom Despair and Agony on me! Oh whatever will I do??
You see, the Republicans voted no on the bailout/rescue bill because (oh boohoohoohoohoohoo) NANCY PELOSI GAVE A MEAN SPEECH!
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) said that Pelosi’s speech “poisoned” the Republican caucus and “caused a number of members we thought we could get to go south.”
“I do believe that we could have gotten there today, had it not been for the partisan speech that the Speaker gave on the floor of the House,” Boehner said. “We put everything we had into getting the vote to get there today.” Boehner added, however, that lawmakers have “no choice” but to work together and would have to find “a middle ground to bring enough votes to avert a crisis.”
Who would have thought the Daddy Party was a bunch of big crybabies, who put their widdle hurt feelings (at the hands of that womanly San Francisco liberal no less) ahead of their country.
Call the Waaaaaahmbulance.
