Nonsense From Nonsense Cliff
Republicans Unhappy With Latest Fiscal Cliff Talks | PBS NewsHour
A note from the Elections Have Consequences Department: McConnel might experience a humor cliff moment when he is unemployed.
...The Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes reports that McConnell "burst into laughter" Thursday when presented with the framework for a deal.
In a statement, White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage said, "Right now, the only thing preventing us from reaching a deal that averts the fiscal cliff and avoids a tax hike on 98 percent of Americans is the refusal of congressional Republicans to ask the very wealthiest individuals to pay higher tax rates..."
