Serious question: How much of this is real and how much is Kabuki? [View all]

[Stinky The Clown]

We've all been following this. We've heard the electeds and what they have to say. We've heard the chatterers and what they have to say. We've heard the inside baseball stuff. We traded theories and conjecture.

But wait a sec. is this all smoke and mirrors? You know . . . Harry to Turtle to Boner to Harry to Turtle. To Boner. It occurs to me that a lot of this last minute crap - like Boner yanking tonight's bill - is really about giving the repubic hairs the appearance of fighting for the things their crazy as shit house rat supporters want and then - heroically - voting at the last second to "save the republic" and ward off disaster.

Whew!

Or maybe it is something else.
