What the fuck: Ben Affleck movie "The Town" to rally their caucus
House GOP leadership played a short clip from the Ben Affleck movie "The Town" to rally their caucus around Boehner's debt plan; in the clip, Affleck says "we're going to hurt some people" to which Rep Allen West (R-FL) replied "I'm ready to drive the car"

5. As I recall, that didn't work out so well in the end.
P.S. The bag of money is buried in the garden.

7. As the Organized Crime Party, doesn't surprise me at all.
If they could spring Whitey Bulger from custody, I'm sure he'd have been available for an inspirational pep-rally.

9. So they're a bunch of thieves eh?
After all, the movie is about a bunch of armed bank robbers.
