Script for Mitch and John:
“Mr. President, in light of the clear message of the recent election, there should be no legislative activity during this lame duck session, other than making ALL the current tax rates PERMANENT.”
Right! Nothing except a continuous filibuster should occupy Senate thoughts and deeds, until the new “crew” comes on-board. Seriously. Shut off the lights and heat to the Senate hall, put dust covers on the chairs, and put up signs that say, “Wet wax: stay out until January!”
