GOP "piecemeal" funding of Government approach... where have I seen that before?
It's the scene in every hostage drama where the terrorists send out some of the more sympathetic hostages to gain public sympathy, or the hostage negotiator asks the terrorists to send out a few infants or dialysis patients as a show of good faith.
Except this isn't supposed to be Dog Day Afternoon.
And nobody is asking these hostage takers to, as a show of good faith, please at least release the WWII veterans memorial.
But the gesture certainly shows that the Republicans envision themselves as hostage taking terrorists with a list of fantastic demands.
It is how they are thinking. They think the are Alan Rickman in Diehard. (And, like Rickman, their hostage taking for idealistic demands is mere cover for looting the treasury.)
Hopefully they will soon, however, find themselves the kidnappers in The Ransom of Red-Chief.
