How Do You Spell Compromise?

F-U-C-K-Y-O-U

Go visit RawStory here for this must watch video from Hardball last night. You will get an object lesson in what's left of Republican Public Policy discourse. As the party is now only the party of Alabama cousin-lovers this rep is distinctly represetative of the party, dolly Parton clothes and all. Stick around till the end where she begins to channel Pat Robertson's crazy 'smile of rage'.

Hardball host Chris Matthews asks if a compromise between the president's position and the Democrats' position is possible. Rep. Blackburn responds, "I do not know if there is room for compromise. I think that a good way to define that compromise would be to put a clean bill on the floor, one that supports the troops, supports their needs, and then have an up or down vote."

Frustrated by Blackburn's response, Matthews asks the question again. Blackburn continues, saying, "The way for compromise is to put a bill on the floor that says 'let's fund the troops, let's fund the effort and what they need' and those that want to vote against it, vote against it."

"That's a compromise?" says a puzzled Matthews.
