Asshole of the Week

"The time has come for a balanced budget amendment that forces Washington to balance its books. If these debt negotiations have convinced us of anything, it’s that we can’t leave it to politicians in Washington to make the difficult decisions that they need to get our fiscal house in order. The balanced budget amendment will do that for them. Now is the moment. No more games. No more gimmicks. The Constitution must be amended to keep the government in check. We’ve tried persuasion. We’ve tried negotiations. We’re tried elections. Nothing has worked."
-- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

There's one thing you haven't tried, Mitch, and that is acting less like a dick. Only 21% of the country approves of how you and the rest of the GOP are handling this debt ceiling/budget negotiations process -- 71% disapprove. I guess you can expect numbers like that when most Republicans appear to have lost their fucking minds.

Of course you don't like Mitch's balanced budget ammendment idea. It would mean that a bunch of liberal entitlement programs would go away. And so would all of the liberal wonks that suck off the government tit and drain the lifeblood of our economy, each and every day.
Just how in the fuck do you libs, with your hands held out, wake up and look in the mirror every morning? Oh, and you want to talk about disapproval, look no further than the fucking Idiot In Chief!
