re: #164 dog philosopher

i can’t really bring myself to believe it

boehner is i think facing a ‘profiles in courage’ moment, where he is faced with preserving his own job vs bringing a clean CR and a clean vote on the death debt limit and saving the country from a serious crisis

i want to believe that in the end he’ll do the right thing

He won’t. He’s too much of a spineless weasel for that.

Boehner has the votes now for a clean CR and a clean debt hike, but he’s clinging to the “Hastert Rule”, which even Hastert thinks is bullshit.

Sir John of Orange is more interested in keeping his job than he is in saving this country from economic disaster. We’re going to end up in default because he’s a fucking coward.
