Doing What They Do Best
Once again, Republican cynicism trumps everything else. As they make a show of restoring White House tours cut by sequestration, they couldn't care less about the fact that real people are hurting. Like the thousand kids cut from Headstart in Indiana.
I wonder: is there any action Rs might take in order, as they see it, to embarrass the president that they might, in retrospect, realize it should embarrass them? Well, of course I don't wonder. I know the answer. There's simply no end to their destructive venality. To them, it's all a game, in which the prize is confusing enough people into going along with their self-centered and short-sighted agenda.
