GOP Abuse Watch

Finally, the GOP congressfolk are starting to show a little spine after the President has made a joke of them time and time again. Yes, they had a little meeting and said they're sick and tired of the bruises, the lies, the humiliation at the grocery store.

The meeting was only the latest sign in an accumulating body of evidence that lawmakers are unhappy with the way the administration treats them.

My name is Denny Hastert, and I've been abused by the President.

We love you Denny.

It's not your fault.

UPDATE: I'm Chuck Grassley, and I'm sorry I've let the President get away with it for so long.

“We Republicans have never quite reached the level of competent oversight that the Democrats developed over their 40 years that they controlled Congress,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the Senate Finance Committee chairman and one of the few Republicans to pepper the administration regularly with inquiries. “We tried to emphasize legislating, and we’ve delegated so much authority to the executive branch of government, and we ought to devote more time to oversight than we do.”
