McConnell Playing the Steve Nunn Gambit

Our good friend Blue Girl nails what's really driving the obsessive obstructionism of Mitch McConnell's minions.

The republican minority in the Senate has gone completely off the rails.

Apparently, they actually believed Karl Rove's crap about a "permanent republican majority" and now that they no longer have the White House and have not merely lost their majorities in both chambers of Congress, but by margins that ought to render them utterly irrelevant to the process, they have, quite simply, lost their fucking minds.

They seem to be like the jealous stalker ex who can't let go and move on and reflect inward on why, exactly, she (the nation) wants nothing more to do with them. Like the stalker ex boyfriend, they 'll have their revenge. If the bitch won't see reason and take them back, they'd just as soon kill her so she can't find happiness elsewhere.

(emphasis added)

Read the whole thing.

Just to be clear, the "bitch" the repugs are trying to kill? That would be us. You and me. The American people.
