False rhetoric killed in Tucson
I predicted further fallout, at least short-term, for the Republicans from the Arizona shootings. (Even though — let’s be clear — they aren’t the ones who showed up and sprayed the crowd with bullets.) So here’s the latest: Speaker Boehner is backing off referring to HR2, the pointless and doomed vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, as the “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act.” In place of “job-killing,” he’s tried out “job-destroying” and “job-crushing.” “Maiming” is no doubt far behind.

By the time our papist house speaker tones down
the rhetoric, none of which the foregoing really is,
we’re liable to see something less incendiary like:
“Repealing the Rather-Vague Health Care Law Act.”
or
“Repealing the There-Should-Have-Been-a-Public-Option Health Care Law Act.”
That ought to seethe the teabaggers sent thither, but rightly.

This is why conservatives are fed up with Republican leadership; not a set of balls between the lot of them.
