The guys were soooo clueless in this.
Quote-O’-The-Day:
“The debt ceiling will be raised… I won’t allow it not to be lifted… [I'd do what I have to do], then go home, punch myself in the stomach, then throw up.”
–Rep. Emanuel Cleaver on Hardball
He also stressed, “We’ve GOTTA create jobs.” And that is exactly what we should have been talking about all this time, in addition to raising the debt ceiling.
Meanwhile, Chris Matthews can’t get FreedomWorks’ Matt Kibbe to answer a question and is accusing him/the tea baggers of not accepting responsibility to pay the bills.

Today’s Bonus Quickie, courtesy of Dickle Me Armey and Matt Kibbe:
The tea party movement has blossomed into a powerful social phenomenon because it is leaderless—not directed by any one mind, political party or parochial agenda. [...]
But let us be clear about one thing: The tea party movement is not seeking a junior partnership with the Republican Party, but a hostile takeover of it.
Mr. Armey, a former House Republican majority leader, is chairman of Freedomworks. Mr. Kibbe is president and CEO of Freedomworks.
A hostile, mindless, leaderless phenom. Yep, that just about sums it up.
That was today’s Bonus Quickie. Will you still respect me in the morning?
