Blowhard photo-op

Do I have this straight? The Republicans are filibustering in the House when it's not in session on behalf of the oil industry? And media attention is growing? And Newt Gingrich is threatening a government shutdown because this time he thinks he can blame the Democrats?

Atrios would say, "Kill me now," but really this is hilariously stupid.

It does prove that some Americans love to gum the lavender-scented Republican bullshit and call it sweet.
