It's amazing how thin-skinned Republicans are. First there's Allen West's "vile and despicable" e-mail to Florida Congressional colleague Debbie Wasserman Schultz — and now the GOP has their knickers in a twist over Vice President Biden's highly accurate characterization of the teabaggers' debt ceiling behavior.
The Vice President is spot on. Holding the nation's debt, triple-A credit rating and overall economy hostage to their off-the-radar-screen, right-wing ideology — when the American people have made it clear they expect compromise and problem-solving — sounds like terrorism to us. (This columnist for The New York Times agrees.)
Of course, we could also add that the Obama-Biden Administration, being the one that killed Osama bin Laden, knows terrorism when it sees it. So we guess we understand that Republicans might be a little sensitive about that.
