Told You So UPDATED and BUMPED

[orig post 10-11 1:30pm]

Permit us, and our Ushanka readers, a little arrogance.  We, all of us, called this.

We've come too far to think that John Boehner would ever stand on principle.  Fool us once?  Hell, he's fooled us several hundred times.

To paraphrase Rush, "They will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."

We continue to ask: What does the NSA have on our representatives?

(This post is based soley on the Drudge headline above.  We don't know the details of the surrender yet, nor do we feel we need to.)

UPDATED 10.15 2:30pm:

Apparently our dear leader has adopted a plan to negotiate, but just never agree.  Even if the GOP give him everything he asks for.  He thrives on chaos, but it appears the chaos has spiraled out of his control. 

Anyhoo, as Dan Rather would say, the story may not be true but the assumptions behind it are.  The GOP has surrendered and is just waiting for the victor to get on his horse and ride out to the white flag.
