Boner - The Dick In A Box

Lawmakers face a midnight Monday deadline to complete a stopgap spending bill to avoid a partial government shutdown that would keep hundreds of thousands of federal workers off the job, close national parks and generate damaging headlines for repugicans.

The timeline is daunting since House repugican cabal leaders appear all but certain to reject the Senate's attempt at a simple, straightforward stopgap spending bill like those routinely passed since the 1995-96 government shutdowns that screwed repugicans sideways and strengthened the once-at-39% President Bill Clinton.

A 21-hour talkathon by Sen. Ted Cruz, our next president, whipped up the repugican cabal's teabaggers even as it complicated efforts by House repugican cabal leaders to assemble rank-and-file support for a
temporary spending measure.

Cruz wants to derail the spending bill to deny Democrats the ability to strip out the anti-Obamacare provision, a strategy that has put him at odds with sane repugicans who say the move won't work and fear it would spark a shutdown and repugican cabal backlash.

This is one of the slowest moving trainwrecks in recent memory.

Everybody can see what's about to happen, but the repugican cabal is still going to crash.

Can you say "Democratic House?"
