EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW IS WRONG

PHOENIX, March 6 – One railbird said the current budget train wreck is “the craziest process I’ve seen… and I lived through the nightmare of 2009, so I thought I couldn’t be surprised anymore.” The source called the frustration and anger in the House “fascinating,” and said Gowan could have avoided much of it “with a little more outreach before twisting arms.” The source said the conventional wisdom of 24 hours ago – that the Senate would have a more difficult time rounding up votes than the House – has been turned on its head. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the Senate pulls it off, but I’m not sure about the House,” the source said.
