If only Boehner could have the intellect and savvy that Rommel had, the tragedy of the last 16 days would not have happened. The man wanted the job as Speaker, but (unlike Nancy P) he can't keep his ducks in a row.

The 'can' is expected to be kicked down the road for 3 months, then the 'circus' starts all over again.

What makes the tactics the GOP tried even more stupid is that more (known and unknown) unnecessary costs will be added to the country's credit card anyway. The very thing they claim to be trying to avoid.

It would be funny, if so many people were not being hurt. If only I could fast forward 20 - 30 years. I'd love to read what the history books then say about all this.
