Be Careful

This has nothing to do with the post really, but...

The CBO comes out with a hilarious report - those cut-ups - that shows that the great gubmint-shutdown-that-almost-was led to a budget that will actually increase spending by $3B this year, while hypothetically reducing it by $122B over the next ten.

The chortling amongst blogger has been audible even without Skype and some have suggested hanging this around the GOP's neck as a way of showing how manifestly inept at this whole governing thing the Teatards really are.

The problem is this whole debt ceiling thing has me worried.  And while I think Boehner wants a deal, he has these crazy-assed Teatards running around his caucus like honey badgers on meth.  If we start pointing out how badly they got played last time this game was played, then they are demonstrably crazy enough to sabotage any vote on raising the debt ceiling and initiating the auto-destruct feature on the global economy.

So, yeah, the Teatards got played like a Steinway, but let's wait to point that out until they get played again.
