With just so much civility

Barbara Mikulski answers a panel on MSNBC led by David Gregory regarding Ted Cruz long speech, this is where I tuned in, this is what caught my attention,

"This is by a small minority, these teabaggers..."

What?

That went right by, that is normal description within her longer answer. She's telling the panel that tea party is to be dismissed as hostile minority, unreasoned people who do not want to pay taxes.

(I'll be very happy to have this photo off my harddrive.)

She is quite cross with the obstruction of pragmatic people eager to get down to business without these senseless obstructions to the hard work of providing the good that flows from smoothly operating mature government, economic development, innovation, job growth, economic growth. Obama won the election, it is the law of the land, they need to get on with government, this is ping-pong politics, reduce debt, increase growth, 21 hours air time, now it's all about him and not about the important work that needs to be done, delay tactics, delaying essential government services, holding hostage over debtceiling,focusingonpragmaticsolutions,not nay sayers, thishsis jsjsuot obaja lml kenelns lskmofkniehrksdnllkshsls hjksolkm.

So there.

Fierce.

And the whole time I was thinking, "You dreadful cow." How I would like to challenge point by point but there are too many points crammed together, as you do, all premises, all wrong, a weird alternate reality there where every point is challengeable , and completely100% utterly hostile that describes itself as compromising, as having already compromised far too much to unreasonables.

Teabaggers is it? Okay. Senator, you cow, every word that came out your vile sinister Party mouth was heard a hundred times already.

Just previously to her I was following  a Democrat senator (I was fascinated by his hair that appeared false) testify listening carefully and following  sympathetically as he recalled events from his pov, "... and then at election the people spoke conclusively that they wanted the health care bill passed."

What?

And then Elijah Cummings. Sabotaging Darrell Issa's Benghazi information gathering visit. Cummings didn't want the hearings, didn't want the visit,  then wanted Democrats to join the visit. Failing at fact blocking, finally, desperately broke the law and leaked the visit. Here is the obstructionist.  (comments there are meanie-pants)

"I sure hope nothing happens to Darrel Issa on his secret visit to Benghazi, that's a dangerous place over there and we do have enemies, you know." That is not a precise quote. But Cummings leaked that.

And that, sir, is a despicable thing to do.

And the whole time I read about Elijah Cummings being a creep again, this after calling us racist after  unnecessarily and provocatively charging in phalanx through a crowd of peaceful protestors with Pelosi weirdly wielding a cartoonishly oversized mallet, declaring righteous victory over visigoths one supposes, and later claimed they were spit upon repeatedly when they were not. And $10,000 says so. And no apology either.

The whole time I was reading that I had the best music running through my head without any headphones!

Man, that song is wrought, the other versions are.

Wikipedia, font of modern day received flexible wisdom, says Pelosi did not want Cummings to Chair the hearings, she felt him insufficiently fierce, insufficiently aggressive. And suddenly I go from thinking of Cummings as dith-pickable Party operative to cuddly inept Teddy bear dragged around and pushed around by overbearing Pelosi, suddenly I have sympathy and I think, "Oh dear, you are completely trapped."  So that is what is meant by "made" in the Mafia. It means you're completely trapped.
