At Long Last, Republicans Will Know They Can Trust Us

[MannyGoldstein]

After so many years of rancor, I'm mighty proud that elected Democrats have gone the extra mile and extended a huge, huge olive branch when they didn't need to. By needlessly giving away the high ground to Republicans, we've shown that we're a party they can trust as partners. They'll no longer think of us in the same breath as meanies like FDR.

We can come in from the cold now.

Given this new-found spirit of unity, I expect that Republicans will return the favor during the upcoming debt ceiling talks. Peace and cooperation will reign as we work together to extend a hand to the Job Creators.

And yes, I will buy that bridge. Manhattan to Brooklyn, you won't believe how cheap this guy's selling it!

Austerity now! Austerity forever!
