52. Oh, how very cozy....

I love Michelle but seriously....

I'm glad they are all enjoying their little insiders club and pretending that all that is wrong is a lack of "sanity" or "civility" or whatever.

What is wrong is that the Republican party (War Criminal George W. Bush included) have been allowed to rot and fester and morph into the institution of hate and intolerance it ended up at today and which started during Mr. Bush's tenure (and I might add enabled by President Obama's obsession with all things bipartisan). Pointing out how much more rational and civil we are than them is not going to do a goddamned fucking thing to fix this problem.
