…and apparently took RNC Chair Steele to task on this during his show today:
The Large Hadron Collider ran through a bunch of tests last week (and will shut down for some maintenance) and the predicted end of the world did not happen. HCR was passed in the House yesterday and the world still spins on its axis. Even better — the S&P and the NASDAQ are up abit today, so the economy certainly did not come crashing down as predicted. The fear mongering and the manufactured outrage didn’t get these repubs much and maybe Shep wants to know what the rest of us want to know: when will these guys abandon the apocalyptic bullsh#t and get to work? Steele really embarrasses himself here — if you can’t drop the talking points to have a conversation with someone who has asked you something outside of the comfort zone of those talking points, you aren’t leading anybody.
