Iran Offers to Mediate Talks Between Republicans and Obama

http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/iran-offers-to-mediate-talks-between-republicans-and-obama?mbid=nl_031015_Borowitz&CNDID=30089463&spMailingID=7569735&spUserID=NjQwNDQzOTg5NzcS1&spJobID=640862121&spReportId=NjQwODYyMTIxS0

Borowitz nails the truly pathetic state of affairs.

..."Hours after Iran made its offer, President Obama said that he was willing to meet with his congressional adversaries under the auspices of Tehran, but questioned whether “any deal reached with Republicans is worth the paper it’s written on.”

For their part, the Republicans said they would only agree to talks if there were no preconditions, such as recognizing President Obama’s existence."

I could only dream of when the Sergeant at Arms comes and takes away all of these cretins for the Tiber Creek dungeons, that these poor excuses for americans have to watch segment after segment of mockery such as this.
