Oddjob pointed to this article in the Boston Globe, which reports—get the fainting couch ready!—that the GOP isn’t interested in doing anything substantial in the near future, preferring instead to futilely focus on initiatives that have no chance of passing (like flag burning and gay marriage ban amendments), just to rally the wingnut voters.
Dick Durbin (D-IL) sums it up thusly: “''Republican leadership has given up on doing anything that is substantial and necessary. All they're dealing with now are bumper-sticker issues.”
But the award for Best Quote goes to crabby-ass Republican Trent Lott, who moans about the GOP’s putrefying stagnation, “We haven't done anything worth a toot in three months.”
Yep, that about sums it up. Or, would, if you substituted “five years” for “three months.”
