How come you're so wrong My sweet neo con If you turn out right I'll eat my hat tonight


(Mike Malloy on Republicans)

Excuse me, Republicans? Reps. Boner & Cantor: let me explain something to you:
You lost the election. Your policies were repudiated. Your claim of policies that would help the economy is idiotic. Your sudden fetish for bi-partisanship is a lie.

Are you stupid, or do you think we are? Just askin'. Keep slapping the open hand extended to you, 'cause it makes you look all principled and, uh, selfish and petty. Good work, that.
