Greedy Bastards

Balkinization

A great quote here.

... a "frustrated moderate Democratic senator" described the battle as emblematic of the broader tone in Washington:

I’m surprised at how much of our time is spent trying to divide up the spoils between various economic interests. I had no idea. I thought we’d be focused on civil liberties, on education policy, energy policy and so on. The fights down here can be put in two or three categories: The big greedy bastards against the big greedy bastards; the big greedy bastards against the little greedy bastards; and some cases even the other little greedy bastards against the other little greedy bastards.

This is what America has become, just a bunch of greedy bastards fighting to get or keep what we think is ours and to hell with everyone else. Screw the country, I want mine and i want it now.
