Tone Deafness + Stupidity = the New GOP?

So some dipshit named Mitch McConnell is threatening to block Obama's economic stimulus plan. My instinct here tells me that he's grandstanding a la the dude ten years ago who quit Congress in an indignant huff over Clinton's sexual transgressions, then found out nobody gave two shits whether he quit or not. McConnell will shake his fist that he is looking out "for the people!!" But if he thinks this is the way to do it, he's a fucking idiot.

First of all, how tone-deaf can he be not to realize that even though it took us eight years to catch on cause we're idiots, the key word "the people" are looking for in DC is accountability. So the way to "look after them" is to demand accountability re: the carrying out of the stimulus plan, not some childish "oh, let's go over this with our reading glasses on, I'll spell out the big words for you" bullshit.

The fact is, none of "the people" is gonna bother reading the shit, much less break it down and understand it. People have lives to live, regardless of grandstanding politicians. But by now, after paying attention the last few months, we can at least get a feel for these things, and we can tell from jump street that McConnell had no problem pushing through a plan to give hundreds of billions of dollars to rich people who had lost money playing Russian roulette with other people's money, but apparently will try to block a plan whose key words are things like "jobs" "jobs" and "jobs." In other words, nobody should give a shit what McConnell is saying. "The people" know that after all these absurd bailouts for the rich, here's a plan that may actually help them, and want the shit to go through. And ring-a-ding-ding for McConnell pretending to give a shit about "fraud and waste," but if while providing up to 3 million jobs around the country Maine gets $1 million for studying whether fish would masturbate if they had access to my old Heather Thomas poster and hands, nobody cares. Pass the shit, get moving. Any minute wasted over some dude huffing and puffing against the bill for political theater is another minute added to the Bush administration.
