It’s taken two and a half years, but Congressional Republicans are finally starting to say what the rest of us scream at our televisions on a nightly basis.
In this case, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions went to the floor of the Senate and offered up this gem during his discussion of the debt ceiling and the Reid plan:
“The president said—really—this is what the president said a week ago: ‘The only bottom line that I have is that we extend this debt ceiling through the next election, until 2013,’” Sessions says in the video. “The president thinks this is about him. It’s all about him. This is about America, and what’s good for this country. It’s not about the president. It’s not about politics.”
In the words of Burt Bacharach:
What’s it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What’s it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give?
In the words of IHateTheMedia.com:
What’s it all about, Barry?
Is it just for the moment you live?
What’s it all about when you sort it out, Barry?
Are we meant to works our fingers to the bone to earn enough money to pay the taxes it takes to support your socialist, nanny, welfare Islamic, third world state?
Maybe not as elegant as the Bacharach version, but it just feels right today. Feel free to sing along.
