Hey! GOP...How 99% of You!

[sheshe2]

GOP wants kudos for working week before Xmas – uh, who doesn’t?

Much like the article last month making a “big deal” about Congress working the week of Thanksgiving – like everyone else in America – the GOP is trying to impress people by letting them know they’re not leaving yet for Christmas.

Oh wow, how impressive. Working the week before Christmas. How 99% of you.

The Republicans in Congress spend years messing up the economy with unnecessary wars and irresponsible tax cuts, forcing us into a false deadline to resolve the so-called fiscal cliff that they created, and now suddenly that we’re facing with cleaning up their mess, they’re all “look at how hard we work,” not taking off the entire week before Christmas, which nearly no one in America does.


How the Republicans normally spend the week before Christmas when the rest of America is busy working.

The Republicans and the rest of Congress work a schedule that makes college life sound demanding, but now we’re supposed to be impressed. Whatever. The minimum wage workers who are stuck working on Thanksgiving day, and almost every other day of the year, are probably less impressed. Even folks who work at home, like mme, don’t see as much free time as Congress — so spare me the tough-guy story.
