The Palooka Prize
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Congressional Republicans gave John Boehner a standing ovation for caving in.
“We all agree Obamacare is an abomination. We all agree taxes are too high. We all agree spending is too high. We all agree Washington is getting in the way of job growth. We all agree we have a real debt crisis that will cripple future generations. We all agree on these fundamental conservative principles. . . . We must not confuse tactics with principles. The differences between us are dwarfed by the differences we have with the Democratic party, and we can do more for the American people united,” [Eric Cantor] told them.
And apparently, we all agree we aren’t going to do shit about it.
Hooray for us! Ribbons for everyone! We are all winners! Hooray!

Hard to argue.
