Why can't we send all these idiots to Mars.....
1. Pride in accomplishment: “The House has done its work.” — Speaker of the House John Boehner.
2. When jumping off the cliff just isn’t enough: “Lemmings with suicide vests.” — U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., describing his GOP House colleagues.
3. We have met the enemy, and he is us: “We have elected an ungovernable collection of snake-handlers, Bible-bangers, ignorami, bagmen and outright frauds, a collection so ungovernable it insists the nation be ungovernable, too.” _ Charles P. Pierce, Esquire.com
4. Run that by me again? “You can’t accuse me of beating my wife and then turn around and tell me isn’t that true.” — Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., on CNN.
5. This guy’s clearly ready for Congress: “Just as the Fugitive Slave Act was an overreach by the federal government, so too we understand that Obamacare is an assault on the rights of individuals.” — State Rep. William O’Brien of New Hampshire.
6. Well, that’s a relief: “This doesn’t impact me mentally.” — Sean Hannity on the shutdown.
7. There is a Santa Claus: “It’s exactly what we wanted, and we got it.” — Rep. Michelle Bachmann on the shutdown.
8. Um, see No. 7 above: “Democratic leaders in Congress finally have their prize: A government shutdown that no one seems to want but them.” — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
9. What do you mean, that’s nonessential? “Sorry, we won’t be tweeting/responding to replies during the government shutdown. Back as soon as possible.” — USA.gov notice
10. Finally, some plummy British understatement: “It’s all quite bonkers” — BBC reporter.
