So Mississippi Republican
Rep. Steven Palazzo tells the Department of The Interior that a group
of old, ailing WWII veterans are coming to visit the WWII Momument on
the Capital Square. He asks if they can see it despite the coming
government shutdown, given that some of them won’t be alive long
enough to have another chance. The people-powered administration of
Barack Obama responded as follows:
“We got the heads up that
they will be barricaded and specifically asked for an exception for
these heroes,” Palazzo told TheDC. “We were denied and told,
‘It’s a government shutdown, what do you expect?’ when we
contacted the liaison for the White House.”
These are the same Miss
Congeniality contestants that lectured The Tea Party about civility
after the shooting of Congresswoman Gabriella Giffords by a person
who later turned out to have ambiguously leftist political beliefs.
The current government shutdown was intended to conceal a lot of the
administration’s problems, but has instead put them out there in
stark bas-relief. The longer this drama goes on, the more the public
pays attention to President Obama and Harry Reid and finds out what
these people are truly like as human beings.
Thus, it was no surprise
that Congressman John Boehner got an invite to attend a negotiation
session at The White House at 5:30 sharp today. The afforementioned
and insufferable Harry Reid is now trying to get John Boehner to give
him a clean funding extension in return for a promised budget
negotiation. I’m hoping Mr. Boehner politely explained to Senator
Reid the Constitutional process that requires that a budget
negotiation between the houses of Congress occur once the US Senate
actually bothers with drafting, debating and passing a Federal
Budget. It’s been four years since Senator Reid has done that, and
therefore he may have forgotten the ledgerdemane associated with
actually doing his job as a Senate Majority Leader.
