OK, then. You and the Girly Men like Boehner can quibble about a symbolic $60 billion or so from an already late budget.
Meanwhile, I’ll continue to be an advocate for Paul Ryan, who at least can put forth a plan for the future without crying about it.
Oh, I'm an advocate for Ryan all right...
But I also think there's more going on in current budget negotiations beyond just a simple quibble because there's a fair number of Tea Partiers who will rip the GOP House apart and treat this as a "last straw" if the GOP doesn't get the upper hand.
And there's a few Dem Senators who will use any victory they might win to rally their base to try to keep their seats in '12 which is a dynamic it would be better to prevent.
I think it's good to walk (current budget) and chew gum (2012 budget) at the same time.
