Senate and House Republicans are throwing a fit and claiming that Speaker of the House John Boehner gave President Obama everything he wanted in the new two-year budget deal....

Asked about the tentative agreement after the briefing, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions replied: “My knees quiver at the sound.” In an interview, Sessions expressed frustration that outgoing Speaker John Boehner was hammering out the deal just days before he plans to give up the gavel for good. “What does Boehner got to do with it?” said an exasperated Sessions, the former top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee. “I’m worried about how fast it’s moving. I see no reason for that. Based on what I know now, it appears the president got whatever he wanted.”...

The real reason Republicans are unhappy is because this deal would take away their ability to hold the country hostage by creating a crisis over the budget and the debt ceiling for two years.

The far right will be neutered.

1. "My knees quiver at the sound."

What, he's channeling Faulkner now?

3. Sorry I don't find Republicans to be credible sources. Not even Jeff Sessions.

Or that hack Cornyn. They are more into hyperbole and melodrama than truth.

4. President Obama, we are not worthy.

But seriously, how surprising is it that John the Weeper would have take his sweet revenge on the tea people that threatened at every turn to take away the Precious Gavel?

How many conversations have The Speaker and The President had in the last few weeks, as the nation was forced to endure the daily spectacle of Trump and the insanity of the GOP primary, collaborating on how to end the reign of terror of the Tea Party?

More to come!?

If the GOP puppet politicians are doing the outrage dance, then I am doing the jig....well, I would if I knew what a jig was.

5. Boehner's revenge

just before he leaves them to kick and flail, helplessly locked into petty squabbles with each other and lacking an adult to get them to focus on the job rather than fighting each other to the tops of imaginary dungheaps.

I'm hoping this is it, that they follow in the footsteps of the other Hamiltonian parties as they head toward annihilation.

6. Gee, thanks for cutting Medicare, Obama!!!
