Rep. Culberson (R-TX) on the big applause moment after GOP resolved to vote for CR: "I said, like 9/11, 'lets roll!'"

Duncan's right. These tea party politicians are just horrible, stupid children.


During a meeting of the House Republican Caucus, Congressman John Culberson (R-TX) compared the relentless Republican effort to defund Obamacare to the heroic efforts of the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 who overpowered terrorists who had gained control of the plane.

there was an experienced pilot onboard ready to take over. Except for he appeared to be of middle eastern descent and they killed him first. Then I'd say they are just like them.
