House GOP Unveils Its Budget Shiny Packet of Goals
By Elana Schor - March 26, 2009, 1:22PM

snip//

Late Update: As Democrats (along with Contessa Brewer) have a ball playing up the GOP plan's lack of detail, Politico reports that House Republican aides are already squabbling over whose boss thought it was a good idea to unveil a budget that lacked nearly all the essential qualities of budget-ness.

The whole post is worth reading, but this quote from "a GOP aide heavily involved in budget strategy" stands well on its own:

In his egocentric rush to get on camera, Mike Pence threw the rest of the Conference under the bus, specifically Paul Ryan, whose staff has been working night and day for weeks to develop a substantive budget plan ... I hope his camera time was gratifying enough to justify erasing the weeks of hard work by dozens of Republicans to put forth serious ideas.

If only the House Republican Conference were a reality show. Pence and Ryan's aides would have to hash all this out on camera while wielding Nerf bats on a giant log suspended over the ocean, and then sing with Dionne Warwick.

And since the Homelanders failed so pathetically for 8 long, miserable lie-filled years, now they want America to fail -- so they won't feel so bad about their inherent FAIL
