McConnell gets a taste of his own medicine, reports 'I'm perplexed'


It's a bit of a dilemma—and one Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is being quite the comedian about:


"I think it's a rather, honestly, absurd position to say that, 'We object to the bill but we don't want to debate the bill or change the bill.' So, I'm perplexed," he said, responding to a question from TPM. "I think it's a pretty hard argument to make with a straight face."
Right. Like the Democratic position on this one is a mystery. "Pass a clean bill" is soooo hard to comprehend.
Republicans have spent years throwing up roadblocks and refusing to negotiate. Now, Democrats are doing a fraction of what Republicans have habitually done—full Republican tactics here would involve Democrats taking an additional, unrelated policy hostage in exchange for their support—and Republicans are acting befuddled and outraged.

He's perplexed by how the light turns on everytime he flips that little switch on the wall.
