We cats hate to be ungracious about this, but as we all finally understand why John Boehner was blubbering so much yesterday, it really is hard to salute his "sacrifice" to avert a government shutdown.
(And yes, the teabags will eventually figure out that Boehner jumping ship means their Planned Parenthood revolt is toast. But anyway.)
Our point is, Boehner falling on his sword is hardly a "sacrifice" when you take stock of how much his incompetence has harmed the country these last four years. How much did the 2013 shutdown cost? Standard & Poor's says $24 billion. We think John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and the other members of their hapless "leadership" teams should start paying that money back, like today.
But Boehner was the worst of them all. Not only did he never have control of his caucus, he couldn't even count. In short, he's no Nancy Pelosi. This is the disgusting result of what happens when people who don't believe in government are elected to run it. And it makes us HISS.
