Like the high tide ...

Digby looks at the hypocrisy of the Rethugs' whining. I just pray the American people (whom I have little faith in after they gave us the past 6 years of Bush and the Rubber Stamp Congress) will see these assholes as spoiled, whiny ass babies:

...

This has been going on almost as long as I can remember, from Nixon's crimes to Reagan/Bush and the Savings and Loan scandals and Iran Contra and now Bush Jr and well... everything. Every time they did it, the establishment watched these people rape the nation and then got all misty eyed for civility and healing and forced the Democrats to not only clean up the mess, but take unbelievable abuse while they did it. This has got to stop.

...

I wonder how successful the Republicans would be in '08 if right at this minute, instead of playing all these bullshit political games with everything, actually did work in a bipartisan manner with Dems? As I said, I have little faith in the public, but I'm hoping the majority will see this for what it is; gamesmanship and the health of the nation be damned.

...

Update: Jesus H. Christ. You just can't win with these people. John Boehner asks the Democrats to let him go to the Ohio State game today along with a bunch of other politicians and in the spirit of comity, the Democrats said yes. Now they are being slammed for being hypocrites because they have gone back on their pledge to work five days a week. Had they said no to Boehner, they would have been slammed for not allowing him to cheer on his team in the big game.
