For evidence the GOP is DOA, look no further than the release today — April 1 — of their “alternative budget.”
“If you expected a GOP alternative to the failed policies of the past that got our country into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, then I have two words for you: April Fool’s,” said Kenneth Baer, OMB communications director…
Meanwhile, Austan Goolsbee, an economic adviser to the president and increasingly active administration spokesman, told MSNBC: “Well, look, I thought it was most appropriate that this thing came out on April Fools’ Day because this thing is the biggest April Fools’ Joke and cruelest that we have had in years…”
What were these people thinking? Like they couldn’t have waited a day, or moved it up a little? It never occurred to them that April 1 could lend itself to April Fools jokes?
The Republicans have had more missteps lately than a man who just shot himself in the foot, which they basically did after they chose Michael Steele as the Republican answer to Barack Obama and elevated Rush Limbaugh, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain to be the voices of attack.
How can anyone still claim that this party stands for something grounded or effective? All they have, so to speak, are tales told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
