Reply #2: Not as classy by far, but

I just wanted to mention that my jaw dropped when I heard Schumer last night (the late presser with Reid and Durbin) that the extremists in the House are not even able to tie their shoes! The level of overall frustration is reaching really unsual levels.

And unrelated, but I am still trying to figure out what on earth does McConnell want now/ Put Ds in general and Obama in particlar in as bad a spot as possible, I get that, but how does this really relate to not wanting to talk with Reid (which AFAIK is quite unheard of) and wanting only to negotiate with WH? The WH is going ot be blamed for this mess no matter what, he knows that. He also knows that the Rs did not get many brownie points in the process, and that the not being able/willing to compromise and be rational labels are going to stick (hopefully...). He is a slimy poisnous snake (well... turtle), but he is smart and rational (just that his goals are completely wrong, but he takes rational and unfortunatley effective steps to achieve these goals), that's why I do not understand what he is trying to achieve by this new tactic. Maybe it's just my brain getting addled for trying to follow all this too closely....
