Harry Reid tried to move the continuing resolution on the budget along in the Senate today — so that maybe, just maybe, the worst Speaker of the House in American history would have time to act on it.
But Mssrs. Cruz and Lee would have none of it. Which really made Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) mad.
"My two colleagues...have sent out e-mails around the world and turned this into a show," he said. "And that is taking priority over getting legislation back to the House so they can take action before the government shuts down."
The Club for Growth immediately called Corker the teabaggers' most hated of epithets, "a Democrat."
So, let's get this straight: The ground has shifted so far right in the GOP that, by even mildly standing up to terrorists like Cruz and Lee, the guy who ran the "Harold, call me" ad is the new Republican statesman.
Yep, a few more weeks like this one and the Grand Old Party will go the way of the Whigs. What on earth would Ronald Reagan say?
