As long as we're reading tea leaves....
Edited on Tue Jul-12-11 09:12 PM by senseandsensibility
I just saw McTurtle on MSNBC, and I had a flashback. Anyone old enough to remember Newtie when Clinton almost allowed the govt to shut down? It was the first time I had seen him without a smirk on his face. He looked terrified.

I just saw the same look on McTurtle's face.
