Greatest Show on Earth: Put It on the Road Under a Big Tent to Balance the Budget

The House of Reprehensibles has made chastising one of its (minority party) members for indecorous conduct a priority item of business. At the same time serious transgressions -- real corruption and criminal conduct -- by the Ways and Means Committee chairman and other (majority party) members* are left slowly simmering on a back burner.

This is a hoot . . . simply hilarious beyond description. Were it scripted as fiction nobody would believe it.

They ought to abandon Capitol Hill, sell off the clown house atop it, and make the show a traveling one, with performances under a big tent. Just think about what a hit the bloviating buffoon from Boston would be as the ring master and Nasty Nancy as . . . oh well, best not to go there. In any event, ticket sales for the extravaganza would balance the budget and eliminate the deficit in short order.
