Schieffer in a Tizzy

Does CBS political guru Bob Schieffer know/remember that the Democrats, while having virtual supermajorities in Congress prior to last November's election, failed to pass a budget? FAILED. They couldn't even get it done in the lame duck session. Letting gays serve openly in the military was more important to them. Now, Schieffer puts on indignation at the fecklessness of Congress!? Shameful.

From CBSNews:

CBS News chief Washington correspondent and "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer says that if there's a shutdown lasting longer than a few days, Congress will face outrage from Americans like never before.

"I don't think it will be much impact at first, but if this goes on into next week and it starts inconveniencing people, I think you are going to see outrage like we have never seen before because let's not forget, Congress has been in session since January and up until this point, they have accomplished absolutely nothing," Schieffer said.

"We're into a blame game now. Both sides are trying to blame the other side if the government does shut down," he added. "They've got to get off that and get to thinking about the people that sent them Washington to represent them. This is a shameful episode in the history of the Congress, and I think if this government does shut down for any length of time people are not going to look for who to blame, they're going to blame all of them."

Amazing how the presumed smartest of the smart can be so stupid.
