“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Blaming the minority

Uh, Tommy Boy? I hate to be the one to break this news to you, but your side is in the majority. You have the votes to push through almost anything you want. If your team wanted to erect a giant marshmallow statue of George Bush and Ronald Reagan making smores, I'm sure there's some appropriations bill you could slip it into.

So stop whining that it's the Democrats fault that your side is spending so much money. Your guys have had complete control for the last five years and haven't even consulted the Democrats on the budget in that time. The blame is squarely on your shoulders.

Of course, the whole outburst is a little odd since just over a month ago, you yourself declared the budget to be almost fat free.

Someone convict him already and get him out of Congress. Please.
