Republicans ready for a WEEK-long shutdown...

[brooklynite]

from a private newsletter I receive:

My understanding -- from National Review's Robert Costa and others -- is that the Republican leadership is committed to standing firm through a short government shutdown. They hope it would last no more than a week at which point they would have enough Republican votes -- a majority of the majority -- to move a clean CR through the House.

Nice to know someone with the political skills of John Boehner is so confident...

6. Let 'em sit and wait

Sucks for government employees and countless others, but fuck them truly.

Obama should go on teevee at a different closed national park every day, saying "Why ain't this open?"
