Mike Lee Confuses His Tantrum With Work

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid (Senator Lee)  are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."
Bertrand RussellWhile justifying the Tea Party government shutdown, Utah Senator Mike Lee said "I'm working. I'll continue to be paid."

Sure, this insults thousands of soldiers, law enforcement officers and essential government employees currently working without pay, but let's not miss the big picture: Mike Lee thinks the Tea Party's collective tantrum is work. This kind of delusion usually warrants a drug test.

It might seem like Mike Lee and his Tea Party chums resemble Ahab chasing after their white whale, Obamacare. But this is wrong.  Ahab knew how to sail. Mike Lee is flailing at sea, bailing the ocean into his sinking boat. Mike Lee isn't Ahab. Ahab would take off his peg leg and beat him with it. Either way, they both crash the boat and don't care who they take down with them.

If Mike Lee isn't a complete fool, it isn't for lack of trying. Even Republicans agree that Lee and his ilk have lost their minds about Obamacare. John McCain took Lee's messiah, Ted Cruz, to the woodshed, and Representative Devin Nunes (R Calif.) called the Republicans leading the shutdown "lemmings with suicide vests." It's hard to blame this mess on Democrats when most Republicans blame it on themselves.
