A two month extension is moronic and more trouble than it’s worth. The Senate needs to get their asses back in session and approve it for a year.

Oh, but you didn’t mention that the House voted no on the Senate’s two month extension of the tax cut, and that they’re pushing a full year extension. Hmmmmm….

BTW, how does an implicit jab at Obama get approved by unanimous consent? Is the whole House racist?

Question for Boehner:  Can middle class Americans pawn the Churchill bust?  

Nice to know they have their priorities straight.

Gosh – what a  crap article.  Do facts mean anything to mediaite?

The house passed a bill with a one year extension of the payroll tax holiday – it was Harry and the dems who refused to pass the bill.
Get a grip and stop playing the liars game with nbccbscnnmsnbcabcnytimesetal.

You conservatards were against the extension at all and called it irresponsible and now it’s not enough? You’re full of shit!

You a spammer now Pablo?  I guess the economy has hit you hard.

I dunno, maybe you can link to site for holistic medicine and we can figure it out.

You really need to start watching cspan and get away from the broadcast networks and cnnmsnbc – the house passed a one year extension, Harry and the dems couldn’t get shit through so they kicked the can.  really….learn your facts.

This one anyway.

Righting another Obomacon moment is always worth it. The next will be removing this embarrassment from office.

Actually it was Harry and the Dems and Harry and the Republicans in the Senate that passed the bill.  It got 87 votes, so I’m assuming a few Republicans voted for it.

But if it makes you feel better to ignore that, just ignore it.

The Senate bill passed with 87 votes, including a good number of Republicans, including Mitch McConnell.  Why don’t you get your facts straight?

The House passed the bill with add-ons that would have never of passed!! I understand that Fox News won’t mention that, but Wake Up!!

Before you reply with another one of your ignorant comments… go look it up and see what the Republicans added to the bill and then ask yourself why they couldn’t let the bill stand alone on just the tax cuts Republicans always cry they’re in favor of!!

That’s why they’ve been voted one of the worst Congress’ in recent history!! Canter is Boehner’s puppet master!!

Well, Harry and the dems DID NOT PASS A ONE YEAR extension, which is what the house did and waht the President asked for.  Harry and the senate kicked the can down the road for two months.

Really??

Four weeks ago, Republicans didn’t want the tax curt extended at all, said we couldn’t afford it… now after a deal seemed to be made, they want it extended a year??

They’re doing everything they can to stop the economy from gaining strength… in hopes it will help them in the Presidential election!!

And people like you make excuses for their shameful tactics of putting their own gain before the American peoples!!

Pablo also left out the “poison pills” Republicans added to the bill!! He’s uninformed or purposely hiding that fact of what they added!!

You’re the last person here who should be telling people to learn their facts!! You’re a joke!!

No, they weren’t against the extension at all. They’re against sucking the funding for it out of Social Security…you know, the program you proggtards adore and want to protect (your incapacity for math notwithstanding)

It’s still a waste of time. Two months is a bad joke.

Well looky there… the Tea Party Tax! Thanks assholes! 

It seems you are too, Leedog.

I did not send you to the penis extension site, Blow Hard. You got there on your own.

Black people will treat the Churchill return like it’s the Confederate flag. If you look at a black politician cross-eyed they see Confederate flags in white people’s eyes. Every thing white people do is code talk for hating on black people. Meanwhile the Congressional Black Caucus has no plans to change their name to “The Regular Congress” or “Congress For the Greater Good.” If a white guy becomes President can he send the CBC somewhere?

Republican house has been taken over by far right wingnuts, and Boehner needs to do a better job of actually getting something done. This is a disgrace.

Look at your post, there is a link to healthy water in the Mmmm

What add-ons, Leedog?

Here’s the deal: The thing goes to conference now, and they come up with an answer, which is probably going to be the year extension because the Senate will look really stupid insisting on a two month extension just so they can have this fight again.

No, there isn’t. There is a link to a page at which a relevant question is asked and answered.

Uh, you’re the only one to mention race.  Oops, I guess you revealed something about yourself there …

2 months – you bet it was a disgrace.  The senate even trying that nonsense was a disgrace.

Well, the Speaker’s inflection fails to evoke Churchill, but at least that speech wasn’t as embarrassing as his speech today after the President.  He was just rude and ignorant, and he couldn’t even hide what looked like personal hatred of Obama.  I don’t care how he feels about the man, but that was unprofessional and embarrassing.

I still can’t believe Obama sent back that bust, though; he must know how hysterical the British media get over any whiff of change to the Special Relationship.  (Unlike the British people, who really don’t care much at all.)

“Democrats objected because the bill contained add-ons, including one that would speed up development of a controversial pipeline from Canada, a pay freeze for federal employees, and $20 billion in cuts to the new health care law. Obama has threatened a veto.”

Plus, changing the 99 weeks of unemployment insurance down to 59!!

Yes, the Senate agreed on the pipeline issue, but that’s not the problem!!

Just commented to you on the other issues in the bill the Republicans added and know they won’t get passed!!

They’re doing it to stop the middle-class from getting a tax cut that the Republicans didn’t want in the first place!!

Well done Speaker Boner!  Stick it to Obama by sticking it to the American people.  Your handlers should be happy.

Ever hear of the term “logrolling” in politics?  It happens in every Congress, but now it’s more like a log avalanche, and likely a reason why they’re polling at a collective 11% job approval rating.  I wonder how much it cost to ship that hideous bust back across the pond?

Yes, I’ve been paying attention to Eric Holder. And I RTFA’d.

They need to shove that bust up all of their asses. Who cares losers. Congress is a bad joke. All of the leadership on both sides needs to have primary opponents and if that doesn’t work vote for the the new guy.

I am seeing a DNS attack

What office will we e removing you from?

HOLDER DID IT!

and you want to be just like him?

Nope.
Water.

The photograph of Winstoni Churchill with that incompetent Neviille Chamberlainesque Goober W. Bush is an insult to Churchill. 

the mentality of twelve-year-olds. no wonder Boner’s Congress has the lowest approval in US history

Pablo, you’re really confused, know wonder why you still have that Cain Picture.  You wouldn’t know the facts if it fell over your head.  

Think Progress?

Has Mediaite ever taken the work of a conservative blog and published and promoted it uncritically as they do with most of the far-left blogs?

Do these far left blogs pay Mediaite a fee for each blog posting as Think Progress used to pay me ($50.00 per blog item)?

Yes, Water. The question is “How much does water weigh?” The answer is 8.33 lbs a gallon. Which is helpful to know when you’re carrying it. Can’t you morons read?

Blow Hard, if you’re seeing a DNS attack at that web page, either you’re hallucinating or you don’t know what a DNS attack is.

I like watching weirdos like you get worked up over it. Thanks again! And thanks for the grammar lulz!

No, I want him to be just like me; not on the public payroll.

I know what a DNS attack is and was speaking as if seeing it the future.  Especially if it for a website that sells something, which I thought that site was.  My main point was “What the hell does that have to do with this topic???”  Nothing apparently which shows me you are nothing more than a troll (paid or otherwise)

The disenchanted.

He also needs to a better job voicing the Republican position.

Exactly what was “Chamberlinesque” about GWB?

The Democrats put forth a year program at the beginning and it was the Republicans who agreed to vote for a 2 month extension. Meanwhile a Winston Churchill bust gets paid for and funds are passed to purchase a column to display it on. Isn’t America Great! We have money for an event that happened 67 years ago for a dead politician but no money for folks who’s jobs were sent overseas or lost because of the gamblers on Wall Street.

They passed a one year that was full of pork and give aways which the Senate rejected. The senate came up with a one year, which the Republicans rejected and then they compromised on the 2 month to keep the tax cut going while they were working out the problem. The big problem is that any tax on Millionaires will never be passed and then taxes and cuts to the middle class will never be passed. Here we go again.

It’s only a bad joke if you don’t need the extra $1000 or unemployment due to your job being shipped overseas.

Pablo, check your facts. The problem is not with the funding of Social Security and by the way your math is fuzzy, as they say. The problem is with the cost of health care and that the few who have gained in the past 11 years have gotten the most tax cuts. Hence, no revenue leaves you with a deficit.  Thats simple math. 

He was incompetent, a blunderer, unsuited to command, a patsy, weak and brought about disaster.  Appeasement was a failure; the Bush Doctrine was a failure.
